Meaning and origin of Isidro
Isidro is a Spanish and Greek name that means “gift of Isis”.
From the Greek Isidoros, meaning gift of Isis, after the Egyptian goddess whose worship spread through the Greek world, comes Isidro, the Spanish form of Isidore. The name was made famous in the Christian era by Saint Isidore of Seville, a scholar of the early medieval church, and Saint Isidore the Farmer, San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of Madrid and of farmers. Because of these saints, Isidro has a long history in Spain and Latin America. Warm and traditional, it carries a rural and scholarly heritage, with Chilo or Isi as possible nicknames.
