Additional information about the name Dorothy:
Dorothy is a Greek female name derived from Dorothea, itself ultimately originating from the words "doron" and "theos", meaning "gift" and "God" respectively. Interestingly, when these two Greek words are used in reverse order, the result is another Greek name, Theodora. The name Dorothy was fairly popular in the UK during the first half of the 20th century, but since then it's failed to maintain much traction. One common character related to this name is Dorothy from The Wizard Of Oz.
