Devadattaa means "God-given," in Sanskrit It is derived from Deva, "god" in its genitive form and the verb root, Da, "to give" in its past participle form, Dattaa, or "given." The double A in the spelling represents a long "a" as in "father." Short "a" is pronounced like a in "was." E is pronounced like "e" in "bed." The "D" and "T" are pronounced against the teeth, as in Spanish and other languages. V in Sanskrit can be pronounced as a "v" or as "w."
