Theodore joins the Greek theos, god, with doron, gift, translating directly to "gift of God." Unlike names built on martial or elemental roots, this one frames a person as something given rather than earned or won, and it has long carried a sense of being welcomed rather than merely arrived.
Saturn governs Contemplation and Memory, Mars boldness and fortitude, if they want not strength, or are ill disposed. - William Lilly (1602.-1681.)
