טאָדרעס

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Yiddish
• Meaning: gift of God

• Todros is a Yiddish adaptation of the Greek Theodoros, meaning "gift of God," adopted by Ashkenazi Jews as a kind of translation for Hebrew names like Nathaniel that carry the same grateful meaning.

  Think of it as a fascinating etymological bridge between the Greek and Jewish worlds, a reminder that Jewish naming has always been a story of creative cultural exchange. It sounds strong and distinctive, with a satisfying weight to it. For families who love the idea of Theodore but want something with unmistakable Ashkenazi character, Todros is a remarkable find.
