lidor is Hebrew in Origin.
Lidor is a modern Hebrew given name (לידור), used for both boys and girls though more often masculine. Formed from li (“to/for me”) and dor (“generation”), it conveys “my generation” or “belonging to a generation,” echoing the Hebrew liturgical refrain dor va-dor (“from generation to generation”) and themes of continuity and legacy.
Emerging in late-20th-century Israel amid the fashion for concise, meaning-rich Hebrew names, Lidor appears across contemporary Israeli culture and also occurs as a family name. Short forms and variants include Dor (a common standalone name) and Dori; hyphenated spellings such as Li-Dor are sometimes seen. Though phonetic cousin Lior shares the li- prefix, its sense (“my light”) is different. The name’s crisp sound and forward-looking meaning have supported steady, modest use, appealing to parents who want a modern Hebrew choice anchored in a classic biblical word.
