Feodore Origin and Meaning

The name Feodore is a boy's name of Russian origin.

Feodore is a masculine name with noble Russian roots, serving as a variant of the more common Theodore. Derived from Greek elements meaning 'gift of God,' Feodore carries the same profound meaning but with a distinctly Slavic character. The name was borne by several Russian nobles and royals, including Grand Duke Feodor Alexandrovich of Russia. While Theodore remains widely used internationally, Feodore offers a more uncommon alternative with historical depth. The name experienced limited popularity in Imperial Russia but has remained rare elsewhere. Feodore combines aristocratic heritage with a melodic quality, featuring the gentle 'f' sound opening to rich vowels. For parents seeking a name with royal connections and classic origins beyond the common rankings, Feodore presents an elegant option.
