A name that means "gift of god (feminine theodosius)".

Theodosia combines the Greek theos (God) and dosis (giving) — meaning "giving of God" or "gift of God." Theodosia Burr (1783-1813), the daughter of Aaron Burr, was the subject of the song "Dear Theodosia" in Hamilton.

Theodosia is rare but rising thanks to Hamilton.

Where Theodosia stands.

Theodosia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
