Does the last name/first name: Theodos mean anything?

I was thinking of naming my band Theodos. However, i didnt know if it meant anything but i was wondering its origin, if it means anything. and also some other cool band names that means something. such as: Vindicta (a latin word) means Vengeance. Anyway. Anything that is close to one word. Nothing big. Also tell me what the word means in english. Thanks

    The prefix theo- is often seen in words derived from the Greek theos ~ God, as in theology etc.

    The -dos part can be linked to words that relate to gifts & giving. For example in the original Ancient Greek θεοδοσια {theodosia} ~ a gift to the gods.

    A suggestion for the name : eumetria {= good measure, or, good proportion}

    Theodos (Greec) is short for Theodurus, meaning God's Gift
