Dorrie

US Popularity Rank: 12272

Origin: Greek

Meaning: Given to God; The gift of God

Dorrie might bring to mind the famous blue tang from Disney's Finding Nemo, and that's because the names share an origin. Both names are nicknames of Dorothy, a feminine name rooted in the Greek Dōrothéa, meaning "given to God" or "the gift of God." As baby Dorrie floats through life, they can turn to faith for support or simply remember the optimistic saying, "Just keep swimming."
