Question

"Date" (in English) even has several meanings, such as date (data collection), given,  meeting?

Answer

Given? I don't know if "date" ever means "given."

But yes, "date" has many meanings.

1) The date today is January 30. (time; noun)
2) She has a date with her boyfriend tonight. (meeting; noun)
3) The scientists will date the rocks to estimate the how old the rocks are. (discover an object's age; verb)
4) The boy and girl are dating. (having a romantic relationship; verb)
5) She loves to eat dates. (a kind of fruit; noun)

Answer

I think you've confused some words here.

''Data'' is the plural of ''datum'', as in information.
''Date'' (ie. dah-tay) is the Italian word which means ''(you) give''.
