The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner.

Sanskrit

It arose in South Asia after its predecessor languages had diffused there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age.
