History & Origin

Isidoro is the Spanish and Italian form of Isidore, from the Greek Isidoros, 'gift of Isis.' Its long history owes much to Saint Isidore of Seville, a seventh-century scholar. In the United States it appears in records from around 1913, brought by Spanish- and Italian-speaking immigrant families, and it recurred in small numbers into recent years.

It was never common in the national data, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its late-1920s high. The name reads as heritage rather than trend; families using it today are usually honoring Hispanic or Italian roots, and Isidro is its common shorter Spanish cousin.

Did you know? Isidoro reaches all the way back to ancient Egypt: the Greek name behind it, Isidoros, means 'gift of Isis,' the great Egyptian goddess.
