This article is about the personal name. For the game manufacturer, see Gottlieb.

Gottlieb (German for 'beloved by God') is a theophoric name that is used as a surname or as a male given name. Gottlieb appeared in High German in the 17th century, in German speaking parts of Europe. It was a product of the age of pietism, giving young men a religiously charged name.[1] Earlier forms of the name are attested from the 6th century in the Gothic language as Gudilub, normalized[clarification needed] as 'Gudaliufs'.[2]

Equivalent names in other languages include Latin Amadeus, Greek Theophil, and Bulgarian Bogomil.
