Theo

Theo is a Greek name, a short form of longer compound names beginning with the element theos, meaning god. It most commonly derives from Theodoros (meaning gift of god) or Theodoros-related forms such as Theobald and Theodore, though it also stands on its own as an independent given name in many European traditions. The Dutch painter Theo van Gogh, brother of Vincent, is among its well-known historical bearers. Related forms include Theodore, Théodore, Theodor, and Teodoro.
