The name Dorothy is a translation of the Greek name Dorothea, which consists of the words 'Doron' meaning 'gift', and 'Theos', meaning 'God'. The word Dorothy thus means 'the gift of God' in Greek, and the immense popularity of this name is accredited to its beautiful meaning. Besides, personalities such as Dorothy Arnold, Dorothy Appleby, and Dorothy Coburn, famous American actresses, also inspire parents to name their little princesses Dorothy. Another popular instance of the name is its appearance in 'The Wizard Of Oz', which is adored by kids and adults alike.
