History of Mozart: 266th Birthday
<p>When he was an adult, he referred to himself as “Wolfgang Amadè Mozart,” signing his marriage certificate that way. His baptismal name was Latinized, as was common in those days, and he was christened on the feast day of <strong>St. John Chrysostom</strong>. Theophilus was the middle name of his godfather, <strong>Johannes Pergmayr</strong>.</p>
<p>The names <strong>Amadeus</strong> and <strong>Theophilus</strong> are equivalents of each other; <em>Amadeus</em> is from the Latin “amare + Deus” while <em>Theophilus</em> is “Theo + philos” from the Greek for “lover of God” or “beloved by God.” In German, it would be <em>Gottlieb</em>. His father once wrote a letter calling his newborn son “Wolfgang Gottlieb.”</p>
