[Facts] Re: Meaning of the name Isidora
Can you explain the etymology for 'gifted with many ideas'? And where you found it? I suppose 'gift' and 'gifted' could be close enough, if necessary, but how the letters can mean 'many ideas' is not clear to me.

I can't explain it, I saw one of the Isidore comments in Meaning/History say that it also meant gifted with many ideas, and Isidore is the male version of Isidora.

No doubt whoever posted that comment didn't explain it either! Referencing really is so important that we need to be very cautious when people don't do it.
