Derived from Greek origins, Theophus is an uncommon yet distinctive given name meaning 'divine' or 'of divine origin'. It was particularly prevalent during the Byzantine Empire and among early Christian communities. Theophus is composed of two elements: 'Theos', which translates to 'god', and '-phus', a suffix meaning 'bearing, producing, or giving birth to'. The name reflects the ancient Greek cultural belief in the divine nature of creation and life itself.
"Theophus had five people born with this name in 1957, making it quite unique for that year."
