In the entry for Teodoar on page 1451 of "Altdeutsches Namenbuch", Förstemann states that the name is unisex. He does this by putting 'msc. U. fem.' right after the name, which is short for "masculin und feminin" in somewhat old-fashioned German:

(in German)
The trait of being unisex continues with the name's Frisian descendant Dieuwer, which is already in the main database but currently listed as strictly masculine. Here is some information about that, along with examples of female bearers:
