Meaning & origin
Fedor, the Russian form of Theodore, has a very low profile in the United States. It first appeared in U.S. records in 2004, and as of 2025, it ranks 8910, meaning 1 in 213,510 newborns receive the name. Its peak usage was in 2014, but it has been on a declining trajectory since then, reflecting the name's rarity. Fedor is deeply rooted in Slavic heritage and remains a classic in Russia and surrounding countries, though it has not gained significant traction in English-speaking nations. With no top states reporting notable usage, Fedor remains an uncommon choice, primarily favored by families with Eastern European connections.
Fedor is the Russian form of the Greek name Theodoros, meaning 'gift of God.' It has been used in Russia since the medieval period and appears in Slavic countries and diaspora communities. The name is a classic within Russian culture, associated with saints and tsars, though its popularity has waned in recent decades.
