ISADORA  

Gender: F
Origin: Latin
Meaning: "gift of Isis"

Why is Isabella megapopular while Isadora goes virtually ignoredo Too close a tie with tragic modern dancer Isadora Duncan, perhaps, or with fusty male version Isidore. But we think it's worth reevaluating as an Isabella alternative. Quirky couple singer Bjork and artist Matthew Barney did just that.

Variations:
Isidora, Ysadora, Izadora
