Theodoridis Family History

Greek: patronymic from the personal name Theodōros (see Theodore). The suffix -idis meaning ‘son/descendant of’ is a variant of the classical -ides which was revived in the 19th century.

In particular, this revival was prominent among Greeks from Asia Minor and Eastern Thrace.

The use of patronymics is a long-standing tradition in Greek culture, linking individuals to their familial heritage.

This practice often reflects the importance of ancestry and lineage within Greek society.

The suffixes signify not only descent but also cultural identity among Greek communities.
