About Theodosia
This feminine form of Theodosius has long been buried deep in the attic, but might be a good discovery for the parent who wants to move beyond Theodora. Vice President Aaron Burr named a daughter Theodosia ("Dear Theodosia" is a song in the smash musical Hamilton), and it was the birth name of silent screen vamp Theda Bara. Theodosia actually appeared on the US popularity lists in the 1880s and 90s.
Pronounced thee-uh-DOH-zhuh.
As of October 2026, Theodosia ranked #4159 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #576 in 1880.
