Dores is an uncommon feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Dolores, which comes from Spanish 'María de los Dolores' meaning 'Mary of Sorrows,' referring to the Virgin Mary's suffering. Alternatively, it could be a variation of Doris, derived from the ancient Greek sea goddess whose name meant 'gift.' In some cultures, particularly Portuguese, it may serve as a shortened form of names like Isadora or Teodora. The name has a gentle, vintage quality with its soft sound and simple spelling. Though rarely used in contemporary naming, Dores carries a subtle elegance and multicultural heritage that may appeal to parents seeking an uncommon name with historical roots.
