A gift; something bestowed or granted
Derived from the English word 'given', this name functions as a literal descriptor of a child as a gift. It follows the tradition of English virtue names and 'word names' that emphasize the child's status as a blessing to the family. While rare, it fits within the modern trend of using unique vocabulary words as names.
