The name Dorrigo is a boy's name of Aboriginal origin meaning "stringy bark".

Dorrigo is the name of a small town and of a National Park in Australia, that also doubles up as a nature name and a literary choice. Derived from the indigenous Gumbaingiir language, Dorrigo means "stringy bark", likely referring to the tallow wood tree.
 
 It notably appeared in Richard Flanagan's award winning novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, in which it is borne by the protagonist, Dorrigo Evans. 
 A rare choice, but with Flanagan's novel adapted into a miniseries in 2025, Dorrigo might just catch some parents' attention in coming years.
