Variant spelling of Dorothy, from Greek 'doron' + 'theos' meaning 'gift of God.'
Dorohty is a variant spelling of Dorothy, ultimately from Greek doron and theos, meaning gift of God. The slightly altered spelling gives a familiar saintly and classical name a more individualized look, but its underlying meaning remains one of the best-known in the tradition.
Because Dorothy has been used for centuries, Dorohty carries a strong sense of continuity even while departing from standard orthography. It feels old-fashioned in the broad sense, yet the spelling makes it unusual enough to seem personal. The name suggests kindness, tradition, and a touch of eccentricity in presentation.
