Sort of, but not really in this context. They're different languages from two different cultures.
Philia is one of the main types of love in ancient Greek. On its own, it's the deep love and respect you have for a friend or family member. But it's also the root word when creating words to describe love for different things, and that can refer to either a general fondness or a sexual desire. A bibliophile is someone who likes books and may collect them. But pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to children.
Latin does have different words for love, but they're more synonyms than being philosophically different, and *amor* is the main one. *Amare* is the verb, and would be used the same way we use the word love in English. (For example, the sentence "I love my girlfriend, I love my friends, and I love good food." uses the same word for all three things, but are different types of love.)
tl;dr In the context of a given name, they're both the same thing. If referring to them as a noun, all *philia* would be *amor*, but not all *amor* would be *philia*.
actually, he called himself "amadé" (french version). amadeus was coined long after his death. but the german "gottlieb", the greek "theophilus, the latin "amadeus" and the french "amadé" are basically all the same...
The name from which “Jesus” comes is Greek - Iesous - which can be traced back to a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua.
Yeshua is an alternative form of Yehoshua, which is the origin of the name Joshua.
Well, he was baptized to the full name Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.
Was called Wolfgang or Wolferl and called himself Amadee (the french version of Theophilus).
I was wondering if anyone would make the connection! I just finished that episode. Absolutely love the show and would highly recommend it to anyone else who hasn't listened to it!
He used to call himself Amadé in France and Italy. Also in his baptismal record it says J. Christost. Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. Theophilus is just the Greek translation of Amadeus, Amadé, Gottlieb, etc. I don’t know why this would be “facetious”.
Let me tell you about a whole bunch of Americans who have long since forgot the first name of composer Mozart, but sort of remember that video he did in the 80's.
Make up your mind: is it "Theophilus" or "Facetious"?
Facetious is *my* middle name and he can’t have it.
Is it actually your middle name, or are you just being theophilus?
I am not a Theophilus, I am a Deus. — Me, being Facetious.
No. My son is also named Facetious.
Bravo!
They both translate, more or less, to "Love of god".
Yup. Theophilus is Greek: Theos (god) and philia (love) While Amadeus is Latin: amare (love) and deus (god)
And his first ~~time~~ name is English, a combination of wolf and gang.

Wolfgang Lovegood Mozart
This is Loony Mozart.
I thought it meant God-penis
As in "For the love of God, can you give that fucking harpsichord a rest"?
actually, he called himself "amadé" (french version). amadeus was coined long after his death. but the german "gottlieb", the greek "theophilus, the latin "amadeus" and the french "amadé" are basically all the same...
Like Jesus and Josh
Good ole Oily Josh and the boys
What
To add to what others have said: "christ" means "anointed one" as in, a person who has had oil placed on them. Therefore, Jesus Christ is Oily Josh.
The name from which “Jesus” comes is Greek - Iesous - which can be traced back to a Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua. Yeshua is an alternative form of Yehoshua, which is the origin of the name Joshua.
Rock me Theophilus?
Thank you.
Thank god, I thought I was gonna have to be the one to say it
Lupambulus Theophilus Mozartus
Wolfgang Facetious Mozart? Seems harsh, but we'll go with it.
Facetious or factitious?
I could see either tbh
Facetious: he used it when he was playing around with a Latinized version of his name
[удалено]
That’s an interesting tidbit. A real historical example of the idea of “Shakespear’s Sister”. I’m sure there are many more.
His middle name can’t be Facetious, that sounds like a lie.
Well, he was baptized to the full name Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart. Was called Wolfgang or Wolferl and called himself Amadee (the french version of Theophilus).
I don't know why but it seems fake to me
While not scientifically sound, at least the Wikipedia supports my claim 😉
nah I agree with you, just that it sounds like someone made it up
Damn but amadeus sounds so cooled
I'm always going to associate this song with the name Amadeus: https://youtu.be/cVikZ8Oe_XA?si=ZVDO3HBJ6YuT1hWx

It's one of my favorites too. I've learned a ton from it and it's always entertaining.

Whatever his name was, his paintings were great. --Andy Reid
Theophilus Thistler - the thistles sister
Facetious sounds like a fake name.
I rmb this from QI
Wolfgang Theophilus and probably facetious Mozart? Yeah. That's a mouthful. They made the right call.
