History & Origin

The original Greek Isidoros joins the name of the goddess Isis with the word for gift, producing 'gift of Isis'. Latin reshaped it as Isidorus, and Spanish smoothed it further into Isidro. Its strongest tie in Spain is to Isidore the Laborer, the medieval farmworker known as San Isidro.

San Isidro (c. 1070-1130) is venerated as the patron saint of farmers and of Madrid, and his feast keeps the name alive in Spanish-speaking Catholic communities. The English forms Isadore and Isidore preserve the same 'gift of Isis' meaning.

Did you know? The meaning usually attached to Isidro is 'gift of Isis', and that core idea is what gives the name most of its long-term appeal.
