Donatello/Donato/Donatus means Given
Leonardo means Brave Lion
Michelangelo/Michael means "Who Is Like God?" (yeah...it's a question *lol*)
Raphael means God Has Healed

That's cool to know. I never knew that most of their names were related to Biblical names. My name is Biblical also; it means "my God is Yahweh".
