Dorice is a feminine name with Greek origins, derived from 'Doris' meaning 'gift.' It emerged as a variation of Doris, adding a softer, more elaborate ending. Popular primarily during the early to mid-20th century, Dorice offers a vintage charm while maintaining elegance. The name gained modest popularity in France and other European countries before reaching English-speaking regions.

Its melodic quality and historical roots provide substance, while the '-ice' ending gives it a delicate, refined character that distinguishes it from the more straightforward Doris.
