Dorothy (given Name)
Dorothy is a feminine given name. It is the English vernacular form of the Greek language, Greek Δωροθέα (''Dōrothéa'') meaning "God's Gift", from δῶρον (''dōron''), "gift" + θεός (''theós''), "god". It has been in use since the 1400s. Although much less common, there are also male equivalents in English such as ''Dory'', from the Greek masculine Δωρόθεος (''Dōrótheos''). ''Dorofei'' is a rarely used Russian language, Russian male version of the name. The given names ''Theodore (name), Theodore'' and ''Theodora (given name), Theodora'' are derived from the same two Greek root words as Dorothy, albeit reversed in order.

Traditional English language, English diminutives include, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
