According to my sources, Romanian Tudor is
a variant of Teodor; as such it is unrelated to Welsh Tudor. Interestingly,
Welsh Tudor is cognate to Theodoric, since *þiuda-ri:k- is the Germanic
equivalent (or even calque) of Celtic *teuto-ri:g- 'folk-king', but not to
Theodore < Gk. tHeo-do:ros 'God's gift'.

[Moeller] this is what i knew too Piotr.
But I remembered that the goths were in Dacia at a time and even in south of
Danube a bit later( assumed the rumanians could be only on one part or just on
the another part of Danube:-)). I am not aware if the name Theodorus appears in
the history of the Roman Empire before the gothic event. If it doesnt, then
maybe theodoric is the name fhere from the roman Theodore was
born
