Dorothy means Gift of God, in Greek. The original Greek form is Dorothea, from 'doron' for 'gift' and 'theos' for 'God'. It's the feminine equivalent of the masculine name Theodore, so a synonym is Theodora. Popular variant forms include Dodie, Dolly, Dora, Dorinda, Dorotea, Dorothea, Dorrit, Dorthy, Dory, Dosya, Tea, and Thea.
