Gale is the last name that Dorothy has in both the original 1900 book edition and the beloved 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, Dorothy is presented as an orphan girl being raised by her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Dorothy's adoptive or foster parents are given no last name. There also is no explanation as to whether the elderly couple really is related to Dorothy and if so, in what way and on which side of the family.

But later on in the Royal Histories of Oz series, author and series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) has Uncle Henry speak of the strong resemblance between Dorothy and her mother. This may favor an interpretation of Uncle Henry as being the brother of Dorothy's mother.

Did Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz have a middle name?

If Dorothy Gale has ever had a middle name, nobody has ever written it down or shared it. L. Frank Baum, the writer who created her in 1900, didn't even give her a last name in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (she got it in the 1902 stage play The Wizard of Oz, and it made its debut in the books in the third Oz book, Ozma of Oz, in 1907). He never gave her a middle name, nor told us the names of her parents.
