What is the meaning of the name Isidora ?

The baby name Isidora is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced English: /ˌɪsɪˈdɔːrə/ (ih-si-DOR-uh); Spanish: /i.si.ˈðo.ɾa/ (ee-see-DOH-rah).

Isidora is Greek in Origin.

Isidora is the Greek feminine form of Isidore, from Isidoros (Isis + doron “gift”), literally “gift of Isis,” the Egyptian goddess whose cult spread through the Hellenistic world. The name traveled with Greek and later Byzantine culture and was embraced by early Christians; a notable bearer is Saint Isidora the Simple, a 4th‑century Egyptian ascetic. It later took root across the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, remaining familiar in Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian, and South Slavic traditions.

Variants include Isadora (English/Spanish/Portuguese spelling shift), Ysidora (archaic Spanish), and Izidora (Slavic). Related masculine forms are Isidore (English/French), Isidro (Spanish), and Isidoro (Italian/Portuguese). Diminutives and short forms include Isa, Isi, Dora, and Dori. While its literal meaning ties to the goddess Isis, many Christian users reinterpreted it broadly as “divine gift.” Today Isidora offers vintage elegance with cross-cultural versatility and an easy path to stylish nicknames.
