ArchivesRe: Does Isadora even mean gift of Isis?
in reply to a message by RuralRuna
To put it in short: Yes it does.
Obviously Isadora is a variant of Isidora, not to other way around.
If you look on the family tree for the name Isis; you can see Isadora right under Isidora.
Isidora or Isadora is a female given name of Greek origin, derived from Ἰσίδωρος, Isídōros (a compound of Ἶσις, Ísis, and δῶρον, dōron: "gift of [the goddess] Isis"). It’s similar to its masculine variant, Isidore.
Hell, even Izadora means “gift of Isis”. You’re basically just butchering it. Many European “gift” names have the suffix -dore or -dora. Theodore means “gift of god” and Mithridates means “gift of Mithras” or “given by Mithras”.
Saying that Isadora doesn’t mean “gift of Isis” just being of its Isa- beginning is kind of like saying Elisabeth doesn’t have the same meaning as Elizabeth because the different letters or Baron isn’t the same as Barron because of its different letters. It’s the same thing, and pretty much pronounced the same way, just different letters.
