What does confirm mean?

Answer 1

In its most basic form, confirmation means approval or verification of something.

Confirmation is also the name of a sacrament celebrated in the Catholic Church, typically when the child being confirmed (the confirmand) is twelve or thirteen. Confirmation is the final sacrament of initiation into the Church, and it involves anointing with oil as a signification of the confirmand's sanctity and protection by the Holy Spirit. Traditionally, many confirmandi take a new name at this time, called their Confirmation name, to honor a saint that is particularly beloved to them and to ask for their constant intercession. This name is not usually a legal name change, and is primarily a spiritual one. When the full name is written, the Confirmation name goes directly before the surname.

Answer 2

Confirmation is a rite of initiation in many Christian Churches, normally in the form of laying on of hands and/or anointing for the purpose of bestowing the Gifts of the Holy Spirit upon them. In some denominations, confirmation bestows full membership in the church upon the recipient. In others, such as the Roman Catholic Church, confirmation "renders the bond with the Church more perfect",[1] but a baptized person is already a full member.[2] Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and Anglicans view Confirmation as a sacrament. In the East is conferred on infants immediately after baptism, but in the West is usually administered later at the age of reason or in early adolescence. In Protestant Churches, the rite tends to be seen rather as a mature statement of faith by an already baptised person. However, it is required by most Protestant denominations for membership in the respective church, in particular for traditional Protestant faiths. In traditional Protestant faiths (Presbyterian, Methodist, etc.) it is recognized by a coming of age ceremony. Several secular, mainly Humanist, organizations direct "civil confirmations" for older children, as a statement of their life stance, an equivalent alternative to traditional religious ceremonies for children of that age. Some secular regimes have as a matter of policy fostered the replacement of Christian rituals such as confirmation with non-religious ones. In the historically Protestant German Democratic Republic (East Germany), for example, "the Jugendweihe (youth dedication) gradually supplanted the Christian practice of Confirmation."[3] A concept that first appeared in 1852, the Jugendweihe is described as "a solemn initiation marking the transition from youth to adulthood that was developed in opposition to Protestant and Catholic Churches' Confirmation."[4]
