Given by God
Derived from the French phrase 'Dieu donné', meaning 'God given'. It was historically used as a name for children whose birth was seen as a miracle or a specific answer to prayer. While rare in the United States, it remains a traditional choice in French-speaking regions and parts of Africa.
