      Meaning of the first name Cleodora

      Origin

      Greek

      Meaning

      Famous Gift

      Variations

      Theodora, Feodora, Leonora
      The name Cleodora has its roots in Greek mythology and combines the elements cleos meaning famous or renowned, and doron meaning gift. In ancient Greek literature, the name Cleodora is associated with several notable figures, including a nymph and a daughter of the sea god Poseidon. These mythological connections contribute to the name's symbolic significance as a famous gift.

      Throughout history, Cleodora has made occasional appearances in various forms of literature and art, but it is not as prevalent as some other Greek names. One notable reference is in Ovid's Metamorphoses, where Cleodora is mentioned as a sea nymph. However, it was not until the modern-day that Cleodora gained some recognition as a given name. Despite its relatively low usage, the name retains its classical charm and conveys a sense of distinction and significance. In recent years, a small number of parents have chosen Cleodora as a name for their daughters in various parts of the world, demonstrating its enduring appeal and connection to Greek heritage.
