Fedar
Just 65 men in Poland carry it, and no newborn has taken it since at least 2000: most Poles have never met a Fedar. The root is Greek, from a phrase meaning "gift of god".
Fedar Pronunciation
Fedar is pronounced FE-dahr (/ˈfɛdar/).
What Fedar means
Where Fedar comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Fedar goes back to the Greek Theodoros. The name joins two words: theos, meaning god, and doron, meaning gift. Put them together and you get the short meaning, gift of god. That sense is the origin, not a later gloss laid over the top.
By the time the name passed into Slavic use, Theodoros had shortened to Fedar. The same root shows up in Fyodor and in Theodore, cognates that keep the god-and-gift build intact. So the Polish reading, dar boży, matches the Greek word for word.
Picture the name on a class register in a town near the eastern border. Fedar sits there in plain script, a short form beside longer Polish ones. Nobody needs it explained.
The meaning stays fixed wherever the spelling lands. Fedar means theos and doron together: god and gift, the dar boży.
