Theodore (name)

Theodore is a masculine given name. It comes from the Greek name Θεόδωρος (Theodōros) meaning "god-given" (from the Greek words θεός, (theos) "god" and δώρον (dōron) "gift"). The name was borne by several prehistoric figures, such as Theodorus of Samos and Theodorus the Atheist, but gained popularity due to the rise of Christianity (its meaning having been adopted to "God-given".)

Theodore (horse)

Theodore (1819 – after 1838) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire best known for winning the classic St Leger Stakes in 1822 at odds of 100/1. Trained in Yorkshire by James Croft, he won the second of his two races as a two-year-old and showed good form the following year, winning races at Catterick, York and Newcastle. His St Leger prospects, however, appeared remote after health problems and poor performances in training gallops. His upset win in the classic, followed by a poor run over the same course and distance two days later, attracted a great deal of comment and suspicions of race-fixing, although none of the allegations was ever proved.

Theodore's subsequent career was relatively undistinguished although he did win a Gold Cup at Manchester in 1825 and some minor races in Scotland in the following year, before retiring with a record of nine wins from twenty-two races. He made no impact as a breeding stallion and was exported to France in 1838.
