Tiodora Origin and Meaning

The name Tiodora is a girl's name of Spanish origin.

Tiodora is a feminine name with roots in Greek heritage, representing a variant of Theodora. The traditional name Theodora means 'gift of God,' derived from the Greek elements 'theos' (god) and 'doron' (gift). This particular spelling variation, Tiodora, reflects regional adaptations found in some Spanish or Portuguese-speaking communities. The name carries historical significance, as several Byzantine empresses and saints bore the name Theodora. While less common than the standard spelling, Tiodora offers a slightly softer pronunciation while maintaining the elegant, classical essence of the original. The name conveys strength and spiritual meaning while its relative rarity makes it a distinctive choice.
