Meaning and background
The story behind Isadora
Isadora is documented as a variant of Isidora. Following the explicit name links leads through Isidora, a feminine form of Isidore, to a Greek name combining the goddess Isis with a gift element. Behind the Name also identifies dancer Isadora Duncan as a bearer. The gift-of-Isis explanation therefore follows a recorded name-family chain, while the dance association is a later namesake connection rather than its etymology.
