What is the meaning of the name Tivadar ?

Tivadar is Hungarian in Origin.

Tivadar is a Hungarian masculine given name, cognate of Theodore, from Greek Theodoros (theos 'god' + doron 'gift'), meaning "gift of God." It entered Hungarian through church tradition and medieval records, and the standard modern form is Tivadar. Veneration of saints named Theodore (notably St. Theodore Tiron and St. Theodore Stratelates) supported its continuity in Hungarian usage.

Its use has been anchored in Hungary since Christianization but grew in the 19th–20th centuries, borne by inventor Tivadar Puskás and painter Csontváry Kosztka Tivadar, and later by writer–translator Soros Tivadar. Variants and equivalents include Hungarian Tódor and the rarer Teodor; across languages Theodore/Theodor, Teodor, Teodoro, Tudor, and Russian Fyodor/Fedor. The common Hungarian diminutive is Tivi, and feminine counterparts are Teodóra and Teodora. Today the name feels classic yet uncommon, lending a distinctive, old-world dignity.
