The story of Divinity
Deiwos meant a shining sky-being and produced the Greek Zeus, the Latin deus, the Sanskrit deva and the Norse Tyr — one root behind four pantheons and one weekday. Divinity entered American given-name use recently and appears in the registers in current use.
Meaning
godhood, the divine nature
From the Latin divinitas, from divinus and divus, from the Indo-European root deiwos, 'sky god'. The same root gives deus, deity, Zeus, the Sanskrit deva and, through Germanic Tiw, Tuesday. The etymology is among the best established.
