Answer Question

Answer 1

The name Theo is both used as a boy's name and as a girl's name. It's origin is old German. The name means 'brave people, and/or 'God's gift'. It is a variant of the German names Theobold and Theodore. It is pronounced with the 'th sound as in 'thunder' and not as the sound of the article ' the'. Some similar names to Theo are Tye, Teo or Thu. Theo is both an uncommon first name and a surname. It is sometimes used as a nick for the name "theodore' but is always a name in itself, although most people think that whoever's called Theo must have Theodore as his full name.

Answer 2

The above answer is completely wrong. The origins of Theo and Theodore lie in ancient Greek words. Theo- God and Dore-Gift (of). The meaning is God's Gift. Theo by itself means simply-God.

Answer 3

The name Theodore is a name for a male in the English language which is derived from the Greek name Theodoros, which referred to a 'gift of god' , which is a combination of the Greek words 'theo' meaning 'god' and 'doron' meaning 'gift'. It was a common name for many saints earlier and even two popes. One of the most famous namesakes though would be former American President Theodore Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt was born on the 27th of October in the year 1858 and passed away sixty one years later in the year 1919. He was the twenty-sixth President of the United States and served for a period of eight years, form the year 1901 to the year 1909. One of his earliest projects was to push the enforcement of the Sherman Antitrust Act in opposition to business monopoly.
