Meaning & origin
Theodoro is a rare but established variant of the classic Theodore. First recorded in U.S. data in 1929, it has seen a notable resurgence since 2014, reaching its peak rank of 2884 in 2025. In the 2020s, it remains a distinctive choice, with usage predominantly in California and Texas. Its 1-in-39723 frequency reflects its rarity, but its rising trajectory suggests growing appeal among parents seeking a traditional name with a slight twist.
Theodoro is a variant of Theodore, derived from the Greek name Theodoros, composed of 'theos' (god) and 'doron' (gift). It has been used in various Romance languages, particularly in Italian and Spanish contexts, as an alternative spelling. The name has been borne by saints and several European royals throughout history.
