Theodis appears to be a variation of the Greek name Theodore (meaning "gift of God"), with the suffix altered from "-ore" to "-is." This modification follows a pattern seen in other name variations where traditional endings are substituted with alternative sounds. The name emerged primarily in the United States in the mid-20th century, with most recorded usage beginning in the 1940s-1950s. While uncommon overall, it has maintained consistent if limited usage over decades. Theodis shares its root with the more common names Theodore and Theo, connecting it to the long tradition of theophoric (god-bearing) names in Western culture. The suffix "-is" appears in various masculine names across different traditions, including Greek-derived names, though Theodis itself does not have direct classical Greek origins.

Mitros is a masculine name of Greek origin, primarily functioning as a diminutive form of Dimitrios or Demetrios. These names derive from Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture and fertility. Mitros emerged as a familiar, affectionate version of the longer name in Greek-speaking communities. While common in Greece and among Greek diaspora communities, Mitros remains relatively unknown in wider international contexts. The name carries the cultural weight and history of Greek naming traditions while offering a shorter, more casual alternative to the formal Dimitrios. In Greek communities, it would be recognized as a traditional name with strong cultural connections, evoking warmth and familiarity. Outside of Greek contexts, it presents as distinctive and memorable with an appealing Mediterranean flair.

Eugène is the French form of Eugene, a masculine name with Greek origins meaning 'well-born' or 'noble.'

The name gained significant popularity in 19th century France and has been borne by notable figures including French playwright Eugène Ionesco and artist Eugène Delacroix.

While less common than the standard spelling, Levie experienced some usage in the early 20th century before declining, though it has seen renewed interest amid the revival of vintage biblical names. With its soft sound and friendly ending, Levie offers a gentle twist on a name with profound historical and religious significance.
