Dorothy (given name) Dorothy is a female given name. It comes from Greek Δωροθέα ("Dōrothéa") meaning "God's Gift", from δῶρον ("dōron"), "gift" + θεός ("theós"), "god". Although much less common, there are also male equivalents in English such as "Dorie" from the Greek masculine Δωρόθεος ("Dōrótheos"). Also, the given names Theodore and Theodora are derived from the same two Greek root words as Dorothy, albeit reversed in order. The name is variously abbreviated to "Dot", "Dotty" and "Doll".
