In Kabbalah, the name Teodor represents the connection between the upper and lower worlds, between the giver and the receiver. The word 'doron' (gift) alludes to the divine abundance flowing down from the upper sefirot to the physical world. The name carries the energy of chesed (loving-kindness) and blessing, and recalls the Kabbalistic principle that every soul is a divine mission in the world.
