Heliodoro is a boy’s name of Greek and Spanish origin. It’s a Spanish form of the Greek name Heliodoros, which combines the elements helio, meaning “sun,” and doron, meaning “gift,” to form “gift from the sun.” A fitting name for your little ray of sunshine! A famous bearer of this name was Saint Heliodoro, a 4th-century bishop of Altinum, an ancient city near modern-day Venice. Heliodoro is sometimes shortened to Helio, the Spanish counterpart of the Italian Elio.
