Gottlieb is German in Origin.
Gottlieb is a German given name from Middle High German Gott "God" + lieb "dear, beloved; love," conveying the sense "beloved of God" or "one who loves God." It belongs to a family of devotional names and is closely paralleled by Latin Amadeus and the Slavic Bogumil/Bohumil; Theophil/Theophilus is a Greek-influenced counterpart.
Documented from the late medieval period, the name flourished in German-speaking lands, especially with Lutheran Pietism and the Moravian Church in the 17th-18th centuries, and remained frequent as a middle name into the 19th century. Notable bearers include engineer Gottlieb Daimler, composer Gottlieb Muffat, and painter Gottlieb Schick; the philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte illustrates its common use in compound naming. Variants and related forms include Gotlieb and Polish Gotlib, the diminutive Gottl, and the rare feminine Gottliebe.
