What is the meaning of the name Isadora ?

The baby name Isadora is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ˌɪzəˈdɔːrə/ (iz-uh-DOR-uh).

Isadora is Greek in Origin.

Isadora is the feminine form of the Greek name Isidore, from Isidoros (Isis + dōron, “gift”), literally “gift of Isis,” the Egyptian goddess venerated throughout the Hellenistic world. Despite its pagan components, the name thrived in late antiquity because of several Christian saints named Isidore, most notably the scholar-bishop of Seville, which kept the root in continuous circulation. The feminine form appears in Byzantine and later medieval records and entered English use more widely in the 19th century.

Today Isadora and its close variant Isidora occur across languages: Isidora in Greek, Spanish, Serbian, and Russian; Isadora in English and Portuguese; related masculine forms include Isidore, Isidro, Isidor, and Isidoro. The name gained modern visibility through the iconoclastic dancer Isadora Duncan, lending it an artistic, bohemian aura. Common diminutives are Isa, Izzy, Dora, and Dori. Meaning: “gift of Isis,” often interpreted more broadly as “divine gift.”
