[Surname] Re: What does Theodosiou mean ?
It is Greek. It is the genitive of 'Theodosius'. Thus, its meaning is 'the child of Theodosius'.

I copy the meaning of Theodosius from http://www.behindthename.com

THEODOSIUS m Ancient Greek (Latinized)
Roman name that meant "giving to god" from Greek theos "god" and dosis "giving". Saint Theodosius of Palestine was a monk who founded a monastery near Bethlehem in the 5th century. This also was the name of emperors of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empires.
