Izadore is a modern Anglicized respelling of Isidore, from the Greek name Isidoros (Isis + doron), meaning "gift of Isis." Carried into Latin as Isidorus, it became well known in Christian Europe through revered figures such as Saint Isidore of Seville, the scholar-bishop of the 7th century, and Isidore the Farmer, patron of Madrid. In Christian contexts the sense was sometimes broadened to "divine gift."

Variants abound: Isidore (English/French), Isidor (German, Scandinavian, and Slavic), Izidor (Central/Eastern European), Isidro (Spanish), Isidoro (Italian/Portuguese), and the Anglicized Isadore and Izadore; feminine forms include Isadora and Isidora. Diminutives like Izzy, Sid, and Dory appear in English. The spelling Izadore surfaces in late 19th–early 20th-century American records, particularly among immigrant and Jewish families, and is rare today, offering a vintage, learned heritage with a contemporary, zesty twist.
