The use of the Late Roman given name Donata has never been limited to exclusively Italy, which was to be expected, as it is the name of a saint (and saints tend to be venerated in multiple countries). With that said, the name is (and has been) used the most in countries that speak a Romance language, which means not just Italy, but also Portugal and Spain (and their former colonies, most of which are located in Middle America and South America). As such, at least the usages of Spanish and Portuguese should be added to this name. Its masculine counterpart Donato is already listed as being Italian, Spanish and Portuguese in the main database, so there is no reason to leave the latter two excluded from the entry for Donata.

The usage "Late Roman" should be added to this name, because it is also the Late Latin feminine form of Donatus. In other words: the name predates the use as an Italian name. [noted -ed]

Properly pronounced:
Doe-Naw-Tuh
The "O" in "Do" is, as always, said as "Oh" instead of "Uh". Next, the "A" after "N" (na) would be pronounced as the "A" in "Father". "Ta" is simple enough considering it is a soft "Tuh".
A presto. [noted -ed]
