Isidora

Isidora is a female name with Isidore as its male equivalent. It is of Greek origin, and the meaning of Isidora is 'Gift of Isis', which is particularly interesting since Isis is considered to be the goddess of fertility in ancient Egypt, not Greece. This Greek meaning comes from the combination of Isi-(for the goddess Isis) and Dora (the feminine form of -dore, which means gift), as is seen in the name Theodore (gift of God). In Spanish culture, it means 'Gifted with ideas'. The name is more commonly spelled as Isadora and is one of the few names that have crept into Christianity despite the persistent repression of the worship of these Egyptian gods and goddesses. One of the most notable personalities bearing the name is the Christian nun, Saint Isidora, who was famous for how well she lived her life according to the writings of the Christian apostle Paul. Another is the Spanish musician Isidora Zegers.
