Theodoros

Theodoros is an Ancient Greek masculine name composed of the elements theos, meaning god, and doron, meaning gift, giving the overall sense of gift of God. It was widely used in the Byzantine world and borne by several early Christian saints, which helped sustain its popularity across the Greek-speaking world. The name is the direct Greek form of a widely distributed name family that includes Theodore in English, Théodore in French, Teodoro in Spanish and Italian, and Fyodor in Russian.
