Isidora
Isidora or Isadora is a female given name of Greek origin, derived from Ἰσίδωρος, Isídōros.
The male equivalent is Isidore.
The name survived the suppression of the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis in the newly Christianized Roman Empire, and is, among others, the name of several Christian saints.
Similar "gift" names include the Greek "Theodore" and Slavic "Bogdan", the Persian "Mithradates" and Datis, and the Hebrew "Matanya". The Indo-European "gift" names are ultimately derived from the *PIE root *deh₃-, "to give".
It was the ninth most popular name for baby girls in Chile in 2006.
