Meaning & History

While apparently originally a unisex name, Théotiste seems to have been used predominantly on females since at least the early 1800s.
It is said to be a variant (or, now strictly feminine form) of Théoctiste.
According to some scholars, in France itself this name used to be given to foundlings, no doubt due to its meaning.
