Isadore is Greek in Origin.
Isadore is an Anglicized form of Isidore, from Greek Isidoros (Isis + doron "gift"), meaning "gift of Isis." Via Latin Isidorus it spread across Christian Europe and endured despite its pagan element thanks to revered saints, notably Isidore of Seville (7th century scholar-bishop) and Isidore the Farmer of Madrid. The name found steady use in Catholic and Orthodox traditions and later became familiar in the United States, peaking in the early 1900s; it also served as a common secular name among Ashkenazi Jewish immigrants.
Variants include Isidore (standard English/French), Isidor (German/Scandinavian/Slavic), Izidor, Isidro (Spanish), and Isidoro (Italian/Portuguese). Feminine counterparts are Isadora and Isidora; Isadore appears occasionally as a feminine spelling in North America. Nicknames range from Izzy and Sid to Dory/Dori. The Isadore spelling reflects English pronunciation and offers a vintage, scholarly choice linked to St. Isidore of Seville, patron of the internet.
