Comments for THEOPHILUS:
This is one of the real middle names of Mozart. His full name is Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.-- swisssugar 6/11/2006
I am really in with love this name. Truthfully, I'm quite surprised more people aren't naming their baby boys this great name. It's very wholesome and strong; and it has a great meaning. Perhaps it sounds too "ancient" for some today, but I really think that this name could make a big comeback sometime in the future, or at least I hope it does. It's not too short and not too long; and it's relatively easy to pronounce. If I ever have a son, I will most likely name him Theophilus.-- Anonymous User 6/13/2006
A good nickname would be 'Phil'.-- Anonymous User 6/13/2006
I also love the name, but prefer the Polish version Teofil (Thay-oh-fuel) - hard to do without explaining Polish accent. Anyways, the name is strong and yet sweet. My great grandpa was born in Poland was named this: Teofil Jozef. That is what I want to name my son.-- Anonymous User 12/4/2006
A form of this name that is used in Romania is Teophil.-- Anonymous User 8/13/2007
When I first saw this name, I immediately thought "Greek". It's funny because there were two guys at my school two years ago both named Theophilus, which I thought was an extremely rare name. It sort of sounds like "monopoly" though, but I still like it.-- Penneyperson 12/26/2007
We considered the name Theophilus for our last child and are thinking of it again for this one. I was a little cowardly to use such a unique name before and planned to just use Theo, but my husband is pulling for the whole name, Theophilus. We would still call him Theo. I sure do think it is a strong sounding name.-- nhmommy 1/28/2008
I've never seen it used as a first name, but it is my maiden name. It's listed here as Greek/Biblical, but anyone I've met with it is of Welsh descent.-- paintwolf 6/25/2008
German forms of this name are Theophil and Theofil. [noted -ed]-- Anonymous User 12/5/2009
I think this is an extremely rare, unique and fantastically strong name, if not a little ornate. I really like this name, it's smashing! :)-- walesgal92 8/17/2010
In the New Testament, the books of Luke and Acts were written to Theophilus, a Greek man of God, by the physician Luke. We don't know much about him, other than that he probably chose the name for himself after he converted to Christianity. (As a sidenote, I adore this name and plan on using it for my son).-- Crystalline 10/25/2010
