Theodora, of Greek origin, means "gift of God." It was popularized by the Byzantine Empress Theodora (c.500-548), who rose from humble beginnings to become one of history's most powerful women. The name has a regal and timeless appeal, with variations including Teodora and Teodora.
"Theodora experienced a consistent but relatively infrequent presence among newborns between 1915 and 1939, with a notable spike in 1939."
