Tadros is Coptic, Egyptian in Origin.
Tadros is a Coptic and Arabic given name and surname derived from Greek Theodoros, formed from theos 'god' and doron 'gift,' hence 'gift of God.' The form developed in Egypt through long contact with Greek and Byzantine Christianity and became embedded in Coptic liturgical and communal usage. In everyday Arabic orthography it appears as تادرس, with transliterations such as Tadros, Tadrus, or Tadrous.
The name has long-standing ecclesiastical resonance, attached to revered Eastern martyrs commonly known in English as St. Theodore (notably Theodore Tiro and Theodore Stratelates), who in Coptic tradition are venerated as St. Tadros. It remains popular among Copts in Egypt and the diaspora and also survives as a family name. Close variants across languages include Tawadros (Arabic), Tewodros (Amharic), Theodoros (Greek), Theodore (English), Teodor/Teodoro (Slavic and Romance), Fyodor/Feodor (Russian), and Tevdore (Georgian); related feminine forms are Theodora and Feodora.
