donor/donator

Post by Itasan » Thu Oct 13, 2005 11:34 pm

'Donate' seems to have the following two meanings:
1. to give something to charity
2. to give blood or a body organ to another person
Are 'donator' and 'donor' used in both meanings?
'Donator' only for 1? 'Donor' only for 2?
Thank you.

I've never heard of a "donator." "Donor" for both.
