Theo

Herkunft und Bedeutung von Theo

Theo is the short form of Greek names such as Theodoros, 'gift of God' (from theós, 'god,' and dôron, 'gift'), or Theodore. It thus holds a bright, auspicious meaning, tied to the idea of a child as a precious gift. Now widely used as a name in its own right, it is very popular in the English-speaking world, France and Germany, where it often sits at the top of the charts. Short, soft and sophisticated, it blends classical roots with a modern sound and a charm that is both intellectual and affectionate.
