Isadora (feminine) is Greek in Origin.

From the Greek Isídora (Ισιδώρα), Isadora means “gift of Isis,” built from the goddess name Isis and dōron “gift.” As a theophoric name, it flourished in Hellenistic Egypt and the wider Greek world; Isadora is the feminine counterpart to Isídoros/Isidore. The -dora element aligns it with other “gift” names like Theodora, though its referent is specifically the Egyptian deity.

In late antiquity and the medieval Christian era, the masculine Isidore became widespread through saints - most famously Isidore of Seville - while the feminine remained common chiefly in Greek and Eastern Christian communities, later in Iberia and the Balkans as Isidora. The English spelling Isadora rose in the 18th–19th centuries and gained cultural shine through the American dancer Isadora Duncan. Variants and related forms include Isidora (Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Serbian, Russian), Izidora (Croatian, Slovene), and French/English Isadora; masculine counterparts are Isidore, Isidor, Isidoro, and Isidro. Nicknames: Isa, Izzy, Dora, Dori.
