Meaning of confirmation :
One of the sacraments of initiation (baptism and first Eucharist are the other two) and one of the seven sacraments in the Catholic Church. In this sacrament there is a further deepening of one’s baptismal identity, as one who is given gifts of the Spirit to witness and share. The key symbols used in this sacrament are the Sacred Chrism (oil) and the laying on of hands by the bishop as he says “Be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Each candidate for Confirmation has an official Church sponsor and the candidate either keeps their baptismal name or adds as additional Confirmation name the name of a saint (especially encouraged if the baptism name had no connection to a saint).
For the term confirmation may also exist other definitions and meanings, the meaning and definition indicated above are indicative not be used for medical and legal or special purposes.
