feminine · Spanish origin
Isidra is the Spanish feminine form of Isidro, itself derived from the ancient Greek name Isidoros, composed of the elements Isis, the name of the Egyptian goddess, and doron, meaning gift, yielding the sense gift of Isis. The name reflects the cultural exchange between Egypt and the Greco-Roman world, during which the cult of Isis spread widely across the Mediterranean. A notable male bearer is Isidore of Seville, the influential seventh-century scholar and church father whose name helped establish the form across Europe. Related names include Isidore, Isidoro, and Isidro.
