Gift of God
Theodor is the German, Scandinavian, and Romanian form of the Greek name Theodoros. It shares the same etymological roots as the more common English spelling Theodore, combining 'theos' (God) and 'doron' (gift). While the 'e' ending is standard in the US, this version offers a streamlined, European alternative.
About 76 boys were named Theodor in 2025.
