Bogdan from Macedon

I am very suspicious when for any name, Hellenic etymology is provided .
While ago,at some of our forums,when we were discussed origin of name of Bogdan , Bratot has pointed some links with explanations that 
Bogdan originated from Theodore.
Precisely 


Quote:
old Russ. spelling of proper n. Feodor (Theodore).

Od staroslovenski (makedonski):

Имя Богдан пришло из старославянского языка, где появилось от греческого имени; Богдан означает - данный Богом

Fediuk, form of Fedka, dim. of Fedor old Russ. spelling of proper n. Feodor (Theodore) .Patr. Fedorowicz .

I doubt that 
Origin of the word Bogdan according to letter changes researches is out of name of 
Macedon 
Македон 
because ,
M-> B
K->G

MaiKe
BaiGe
BaGa
Bog 


while for name of Theodorus 

Theodorus =Teos-God + dorus~gift 
My opinion is that Theόs has it's root at Deus ,and Deus or f. *Deusa has its possible origin in our word Dusa-Душа standing for Soul
