Theodulus is Greek in Origin.

Theodulus is the Latinized form of Greek Theódoulos (Θεόδουλος), formed from theos “god” and doulos “servant,” hence “servant of God” or “belonging to God.” It arose in the Christian Greek-speaking world and entered Latin records in Late Antiquity, where its devotional sense made it popular among monks, clergy, and converts who wished to express humility and piety.

The name appears across early hagiography, borne by several saints, among them a bishop of Sion in present-day Valais, Switzerland (patron of the region), and martyrs recorded in Palestine. Medieval usage persisted in Byzantine and monastic circles and, in the West, especially in Alpine regions that honored Saint Théodule. Rare in modern times, it survives in ecclesiastical calendars. Variants include Greek Theódoulos and feminine Theodoula/Theodula; French Théodule; Italian Teodulo; Spanish and Portuguese Teódulo; Romanian Teodul; and Slavic Orthodox Feodul. Possible short forms are Theo or, more rarely, Dulus.
