Isadora

Isadora is a feminine given name of Greek origin, derived from the name of the ancient Egyptian goddess Isis. Isis was one of the most important deities in ancient Egyptian mythology, revered as the ideal mother, wife, and matriarch.

The meaning of the name Isadora can be interpreted as 'gift of Isis' or 'gift from Isis'. It is believed that the name was originally given to girls born on the day of the ancient festival honoring the goddess Isis.

Over time, the name spread beyond its Egyptian roots and became popular in other cultures, particularly in the Western world. It has been used as a given name for centuries and continues to be a relatively popular choice for baby girls in various countries.

While the name Isadora has a rich historical and mythological background, it is also known for its association with famous individuals, such as the American dancer and choreographer Isadora Duncan, who helped to popularize the name in the early 20th century.
