Izydor is Greek in Origin.
Izydor is the Polish form of Isidore, from Greek Isídōros (Ἰσίδωρος), a compound of Isis - the Egyptian goddess - and dōron “gift.” The oldest sense is “gift of Isis,” later reinterpreted in Christian contexts as “gift of God” or more broadly “gift of the deity.” Cognates and variants include Isidore (English/French), Isidor (German, Scandinavian, Russian), Isidro (Spanish, Portuguese), Isidoro (Italian), Izidor (Czech, Slovene, Slovak), and the archaic Spanish Ysidro; feminine forms are Isidora and Isadora.
The name spread through Christian Europe on the prestige of several saints: Isidore of Seville, the 7th‑century scholar and Doctor of the Church; Isidore the Farmer (San Isidro), patron of Madrid; and figures such as the martyr Isidore of Chios and the ascetic Isidore of Pelusium. In Poland, Izydor entered via ecclesiastical calendars, appears in medieval and early modern records, and remains uncommon today yet distinctly traditional.
Izydor is far from common. In all, it turns up just 29 times, across 1 country.
