Theotis, of Greek origin, means 'gift of God'. It is a unique and uncommon name, derived from the combination of two elements: 'theos', meaning 'god', and '-tis', a suffix signifying 'of' or 'belonging to'. This name was likely coined during the Middle Ages, reflecting the spiritual and religious atmosphere of that period. Theotis has no known variants but may be shortened to Theo.
The name Theotis experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the course of a century, with periods of high and low usage. Between 1918 and 1949, the name's popularity showed notable increases, reaching its peak in 1950 with 22 births. However, from 1953 onwards, there was a marked decrease in its usage, with the number of annual births typically ranging between 5 to 15. Notably, there were several years (1967, 1991, 2003, and 2017) where only five or fewer babies were named Theotis. Despite these fluctuations, a total of 939 children born over this period carried the name Theotis.
