What is the meaning of the name Ido ?

The baby name Ido is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced EE-doh (/ˈiːdoʊ/).

Ido is Hebrew in Origin.

Ido is a masculine given name with two main origins. In Hebrew, it derives from the root meaning witness, and is often interpreted as his witness or God is my witness. The name appears in the Bible as Iddo, applied to a seer in the time of Solomon and to priestly leaders in Ezra–Nehemiah; some Greek sources render it Addo. Revived in modern Israel, Ido (pronounced EE-doh) fits the country’s taste for short, bright, vowel-led names.

A separate Germanic/Frisian line treats Ido as the male counterpart of Ida, from Old High German id, work or industry, giving the sense industrious. Variants and related forms include Iddo (biblical) and Addo (Greek-influenced). Note that Japanese Ido, written 井戸 and meaning well, is a common surname rather than a given name and is etymologically unrelated, despite identical spelling in Latin script.
