I first read this name in the Tea Shop Mysteries Series by Laura Childs. The main character is Theodosia Browning sometimes called Theo. I really like the meaning and it reminds me of the male version Theodore as in Theodore Roosevelt. My mom and I pronounce this name like Thee-uh-doe-shuh but there are a few other possible ways to pronounce it which are above.
