Illuminati is a Greek word meaning 'Illumination'; a name given to those who submitted to Christian baptism. In Latin, it literally means 'Enlightened ones.' Those who were baptized were called Illuminati or Illuminated/Enlightened Ones by the Ante-Nicene clergy, on the assumption that those who were baptized in the Apostolic faith had an enlightened understanding. The Alumbrados, a mystical 16th-century Spanish sect, were among the societies that later adopted the name Illuminati. Later on, the title of Illuminati was used by a secret society founded in 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a former Jesuit and professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. It aimed to combat religious thinking and encourage rationalism.
