Theodia, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet captivating female given name. It was popularized by the Roman historian Livy in his work "History of Rome," where he mentions a woman named Theodia, the daughter of King Tarquinius Priscus. The name Theodia may derive from the Latin words 'theos' meaning god and 'dia' meaning day, potentially translating to "gift of the gods" or "divine gift." It is also associated with the Greek word 'thea' meaning goddess. This unique moniker offers an elegant and distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with rich historical roots and a touch of mystique.
Theodia is quite rare, with only two instances of its use within the specified time frame: five births each in 1925 and 1958, resulting in a total of ten babies named Theodia during those years.
