A feminine given name, historically famous as the name of a Byzantine empress and several saints.
From Greek 'theodoros' combining 'theos' (god) and 'doron' (gift), meaning 'gift of God.' The name was popularized by the famous Byzantine empress Theodora (500-548 CE) who was a powerful political figure.
Theodora was born as a circus performer and entertainer—quite a scandal at the time—but through intelligence and ambition became one of the most powerful women in the Byzantine Empire, influencing major religious and political decisions.
