What is the origin of Theodore?

Theodore is used predominantly in the English, French, and Greek languages, and its origin is Old Greek. The name's meaning is gift of god. Biblical name derived from the elements 'theos' meaning god ; 'doron' meaning gift. Theodoros (Old Greek) and Theodorus (Latinized) are old forms of Theodore. The name was popular among early Christians and it was borne by more than twenty saints. It thus suffered a drop in popularity among English Puritans in the 17th century, due to the Roman Catholic associations. The name later saw a revival in the 19th century, popularized by the US President Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919).
