Theodore

A name from the land of Olympic Games, Theodore finds its origin from the Ancient Greek name Theódoros - theós meaning 'God’ and dṓron meaning ‘gift’. The meaning of Theodore is ‘God given’ or ‘gift of the Almighty’. Theodore was a popular name; there are more than twenty saints with this name, as well as two Roman Catholic priests. One of the most famous figures called Theodore is the US President Theodore Roosevelt. The teddy bear was named in his honour. On a hunting trip, a bear was tied up and left for the president to hunt. Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear. Following this gesture, many cartoons and caricatures were drawn, showing this bear as cute and adorable. This led to the creation of the stuffed toy known as the teddy bear. Another notable figure is Theodorus of Samos, who is credited for some of the most vital inventions which are used even today; namely ore smelting, the carpenter’s square, the turning lathe and the lock and key.
