What does Dieudonné mean in English?
I am reading the headlines of Le Monde.fr and I keep coming across this word Dieudonné and I don't know what it means in the context.

For example:
Charlie, Dieudonné, réseaux sociaux... la foire aux questions de la liberté d'expression.
Apologie du terrorisme: Dieudonné sera jugé en correctionnelle

This is ONLY about the translation of the word.
