What is the meaning of the name Theodoros ?

The baby name Theodoros is a boy name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced thee-OD-uh-rohs.

Theodoros is Greek in Origin.

Theodoros is the Ancient Greek masculine name Θεόδωρος, attested in classical sources and borne by figures such as the Samian craftsman Theodoros known to Herodotus. It is a compound of θεός, god, and δῶρον, gift, with the linking vowel -o- and the masculine nominative ending -os. Its literal sense is gift of god, or divine gift.

The name passed into Christian use early, helped by martyrs and saints including Theodore Tiron, Theodore Stratelates, and the Byzantine abbot Theodore the Studite. Modern Greek keeps Theodoros as the formal form, with Theodoris and Thodoris as familiar variants; Western Europe usually adopted Latin Theodorus and vernacular Theodore, while Orthodox Slavic languages produced Feodor, Fyodor, and Todor. In the United States it remains rare, largely visible in Greek diaspora records.
