Subject: Teotista

I'm looking for the meaning of Teotista (Théotiste in French). It is a feminine name from Greek origin and some sources claim that the meaning is "intoxicated of God". This meaning sounds plausible because of the Teo- beginning, but I don't know the reliability of these sources.

To me, Teotista looks like a femeninne variant or evolution of Theoctistos. Is it possible? And if yes, what is the meaning of Theoctistos?

Is the meaning "intoxicated of God" for Teotista and/or for Theoctistos correct?

Thank you very much.
