Funny Coincidence?

Well I think it's a funny coincidence but did you know that the names Dieudonné and Netanyahu both mean "god given".  Yeah, really.

Look at Behind the Name:

Here's Dieudonné:

DIEUDONNÉ

GENDER: Masculine

USAGE: French

PRONOUNCED: dyuu-do-NAY   [key]

Means "given by God" in French

But at the same site you have to make two steps to get the meaning of Netanyahu.

Here's Netanyahu:

NETANYAHU

GENDER: Masculine

USAGE: Biblical Hebrew

OTHER SCRIPTS: נְתַנְיָהוּ (Ancient Hebrew)

Hebrew form of NETHANIAH

Now that's not really telling you much so let's follow the Nethaniah link:

NETHANIAH

GENDER: Masculine

USAGE: Biblical

OTHER SCRIPTS: נְתַנְיָהוּ (Ancient Hebrew)

PRONOUNCED: neth-ə-NIE-ə (English)   [key]

Meaning & History

Means "YAHWEH [ie God] has given" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament this is the name of Ishmael's father, as well as other minor characters.

So there we have it.  Coincidence?  Well they are two sides of the same coin.
