One of those 'why didn't I realise that before' moments

Amadeus = Gottlieb = Theophilus.

Mozart apparently used all three (in parallel, not in series).

I wonder whether there's ever been an English cognate.

I haven't seen that used as a first name, though. The closest thing I could think of was the naming in some morality plays, but I don't think that really counts...

Have you seen it used anywhere?
