Feodosy is Greek, Russian in Origin.

Feodosy is the Russian and East Slavic form of Greek Theodosios (Θεοδόσιος), built from theos “god” and dosis “gift, giving,” usually glossed as “God‑given” or “devoted to God.” It shares roots with Theodore but carries the nuance of an offering or gift in relation to the divine.

Carried by early Christian saints and Byzantine emperors (Latinized as Theodosius), the name spread through the Orthodox world and entered the Slavic calendar via figures like Saint Feodosy (Theodosius) of the Caves in Kyiv. In Russia it was familiar in pre‑revolutionary times, later becoming rare, with a modest revival among tradition‑minded families. International variants include Theodosius (Latin/English), Theodosios (Greek), Teodosio (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Teodosiy/Teodosii (Bulgarian, Ukrainian), and Teodosiu (Romanian). Russian spellings and forms include Feodosiy/Feodosii, with colloquial short forms Fedos and Dosya; the feminine counterpart is Feodosia/Theodosia.
