nate の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Nateは男性名NathanまたはNathanielの愛称。ヘブライ語の「natan（与えた）」に由来し、Nathanielは「netan（与える）＋El（神）」で「神の贈り物」を意味する。関連語: donation（寄付）も「与える」系統の語。
Nate developed as an English familiar form of the male names Nathan and Nathaniel. Nathan comes from Hebrew Natan, meaning “he gave” or “has given.” Nathaniel comes from Hebrew Netan’el, conventionally understood as “God has given” or “gift of God,” with El meaning “God.” The everyday form Nate was created within English naming practice by shortening these longer names. It is now also used independently, though its historical association with Nathan and Nathaniel remains clear.
