Dorry

Dorry is a charming feminine name that typically functions as a diminutive of names like Dorothy, Dorothea, or Doreen. Dorothy derives from the Greek elements 'doron' meaning 'gift' and 'theos' meaning 'god'—literally 'gift of God.'

While not ranking on most popular name charts in recent decades, it carries nostalgic appeal and the currently fashionable '-orry' sound found in names like Tory and Rory. The name also has literary connections through characters in fiction, including Dorry in 'Little Men' by Louisa May Alcott. Its short, cheerful quality makes it accessible while maintaining its distinctive character.

Pronounced DOR-ee.
