Avidor is a modern Hebrew given name and surname formed from avi (“father of”) and dor (“generation, era”), conveying “father of a generation” and, by extension, legacy, guidance, or leadership. The structure follows a common Hebrew pattern that pairs avi with a following noun to signal lineage or affiliation. In use it is primarily masculine; Avi is the typical short form.

The name is attested chiefly in Israel from the 20th century onward, aligning with Hebraization and the revival of lexical Hebrew names. It is rare as a given name but familiar as a family name in Israeli public life. Variants and spellings include Avi-Dor, Avi Dor, and Abidor.
