Théophraste is the French form of Theophastos. The -phrastos part is related to speaking.
Here are some articles that include the etymology of the name, but each phrases it differently:

Midnight stands darkly on the road,
and burdened by stars, tumbles down.
You can't step beyond your fence
without trampling the universe.
