Isidora

Isidora is a feminine given name of ancient Greek origin, derived from Isidoros, a compound of Isis, the name of the Egyptian goddess, and doron, meaning gift, so the name as a whole means gift of Isis. The name reflects the widespread veneration of the goddess Isis throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, where her cult attracted devotees across the Mediterranean. Several early Christian saints bore the name, helping it persist into later European tradition despite its pagan roots. The masculine form Isidore, along with Spanish Isadora and the Latinized Isidora, are closely related cognates found across Romance and Slavic languages.
