Best Answer

Actually his full baptised name was Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.

The first two names "Johannes Chrysostomus" represent his saint's day name (a Catholic custom) - 27th January was the day of St. John Chysostom.

"Wolfgangus" is just "Wolfgang" adapted to Latin for the church records; he was named after his maternal grandfather.

"Theophilus" was Mozart's godfather's name; it means "lover of God" - the common middle name "Amadeus" is merely the Latin version of this name. Mozart often referred to himself as "Wolfgang Amadè Mozart" in later life, only using the full "Amadeus" jokingly.

"Amadeus/Theophilus" could be interchanged with "Gottlieb", the German version of this name.

Hope this helps :)
