What Does the Name Izadora Mean?
Izadora is a feminine name meaning "gift of Isis." It comes from the Greek name Isidōros (Ἰσίδωρος), built from Isis, the name of the Egyptian goddess, and dōron (δῶρον), meaning "gift." The literal sense is a theophoric one: a child given by, or dedicated to, Isis.
The masculine Greek form passed into Latin as Isidorus, and its feminine counterpart, Isidora, produced the Spanish and Portuguese Isadora and the Polish Izydora. Izadora belongs to that family of feminine forms; the z spelling is a variant of the same name rather than a separate derivation.
Izadora Name History & Origins
The name's root is Greek. Isidōros was formed at a time when the cult of Isis had spread widely around the Mediterranean, and the name's second element marks it as one of many Greek names built from a deity plus "gift."
Despite that pagan origin, the name was taken up by Christians. The best-known early bearer is Isidore of Seville (about 560 - 636), the archbishop and encyclopedist who was later named a saint and a Doctor of the Church; his Latin name Isidorus helped carry the name through medieval Europe. A feminine form, Isidora, is remembered as a saint in the Greek-speaking church.
From the Latin feminine Isidora, the name took regional shapes: Isadora in Spanish and Portuguese, Izydora in Polish, and related spellings elsewhere. Izadora matches this pattern with its z. In English-speaking use the name is chiefly associated with the dancer Isadora Duncan (1877 - 1927), whose fame made the -dora form familiar, though the name itself was already long established in Europe.
