Fedorowicz Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

This surname is probably a corruption of the Greek patrimonial Theos and Doron, meaning 'gift of God', which is found today in Greek as some variant of Theodoropulos or Theodoros, which, adopted by Slavic invaders into the Balkans, became a variant of Theodorov, whose son became Theodorovich, and as a corruption, spread throughout the Slavic world as a variation depending on the declension of the particular language, becoming Fedorović or Fedorovich or Fodorovich or similar.

The presence of a variant of the name in Romance Romanian, where we find it as Fedorovici, and in Serbia, Bosnia and Montenegro, possibly one of the 2nd ancestral Slavic regions as Fedorović, indicates that transmission flowed from Greece to Russia and Belarus.

Female variants of the name, depending on the Slavic culture matrimonial, exist also, where the woman might be Fedorova or Fedoroviceva.
