Hello all, I always come across such sentences and I think I dont know how to use and where to use 'given,made,named,called'. Do they always stand after a name? Are they adjectives? if so, can all adjectives be used in such sentences?

It is God given talent.
I am watching a movie made by Canadians.
He knows somebody named Jack.
I heard a place called st park.

No. They are verbs. Verb forms. Past participles of verbs.

***-given = given by ***
***-given talent = talent that *** gave

Thank you so much for your great help. I have one more question. Can all verbs be used in such sentences. I have heard only a few ones.

No. Not if you mean those like 'named' and 'called'. As you say, there are only a few.
