T
Meaning & History
Tudor is a surname of both Romanian and Welsh origin. In Romanian, it is derived from the given name Tudor, which itself is a variant of Teodor. Teodor is a form of Theodore, from the Greek Theodoros, meaning “gift of god” (theos, “god”; doron, “gift”). The Welsh origin traces to Brythonic Tudur, derived from Toutorīx (meaning “people-king”) and conflated with Tewdwr or Tewdr, itself related to Theodore. Both lineages thus ultimately share Greek roots through the name Theodore.
