Minodora

Minodora is a lovely lunar name of Romanian origin, borrowed from the Greek girl’s name Menodora, meaning “gift of the moon.” The moon is claimed to have captured the hearts of the Romanian people for many years, and they were thoroughly impressed when Neil Armstrong and his team of astronauts took to the cosmos back in 1969. Armstrong and the other cadets were also said to have brought a small Romanian flag with them on the Apollo 11 lunar landing. The moon might be your little one’s muse, but a name like Minodora might remind them they’re a gift to the galaxy, too.
