Teodoor
Teodoor Origin and Meaning
Teodoor is a masculine name representing the Dutch and Estonian variation of Theodore, which has Greek origins. The name derives from the Greek elements 'theos' meaning 'god' and 'doron' meaning 'gift,' thus signifying 'gift of God' or 'God's gift.' While Theodore and its variants like Theo have enjoyed widespread usage, Teodoor specifically remains less common, primarily found in Dutch-speaking regions and Estonia. The double 'o' spelling gives the name a distinctive appearance and slightly different pronunciation from other Theodore variations. Teodoor carries the gravitas and classical associations of Theodore while offering a unique cultural connection to Northern European traditions. The name combines timeless meaning with a specific regional character.
