Isidor is Greek in Origin.
Isidor is a masculine given name from Greek Isídōros (Ἰσίδωρος), composed of Isis, the Egyptian goddess, and dōron “gift,” hence “gift of Isis.” Latinized as Isidorus, it spread throughout the Hellenistic and Roman worlds, especially in Egypt and the eastern Mediterranean. Despite its pagan element, it was borne by early Christians; over time the sense broadened to “divine gift,” and the name gained prestige through clerics and scholars.
Usage flourished in medieval Europe thanks to major saints, above all Isidore of Seville (7th c.) and Spain’s Isidore the Farmer. Variants include Isidore (English/French), Isidor (German, Scandinavian, and Slavic), Isidoro (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Isidro (Spanish), Izydor (Polish), Izidor (Czech/Slovene), Isydor (Ukrainian), Isidor (Russian: Исидор), and Isidoras (Lithuanian); feminine forms are Isidora and Isadora. Diminutives include Izzy, Sid, and Isi. Revived in the 19th–20th centuries in Central/Eastern Europe and among European Jews, Isidor is uncommon today but retains a scholarly, old-world feel.
