Tudorel

Tudorel is a Romanian masculine given name, a diminutive form of Tudor, which itself derives from the Latin Theodorus, ultimately rooted in the Greek components meaning god and gift. Tudor became firmly established in Romanian culture partly through its association with the medieval Wallachian ruling tradition and figures such as Tudor Vladimirescu, the early nineteenth-century revolutionary leader. The diminutive suffix -el gives the name an affectionate, familiar quality common in Romanian naming conventions. Related forms include Tudor, Teodor, and the wider European cognates Theodore and Theodor.
