Theo is a given name, deriving from the Greek word Theos which means god, short for many different things for example:*
Theo comes from the Gothic and Germanic form meaning "Tribe of". Theodism is a religion with its roots in the tribal (Odinist) traditions. The name Theobalds for example came from the tribe of Balder, the Norse God who was the son of Odin and brother of Thor. In English the phrase "The cat" has the same root meaning from the tribe of the cat (the o cat).
