The well-renowned feminine given name Dorothyseems to originate from the Greek "Theodora" or "Doron", meaning gift of God.

However: it also has Navajo (Native American) origins, with the meaning of Bluebird.

As a surname: it is first found in England's Durham County records in 1627. Eleven years later, Behethland Dorothy emigrated to the Virginia colony in the Americas.
