Meaning:Gift of God
Though variants like Dorothea and Dorothy have made it into songs, shows, and films, Dortha is an equally beautiful alternative. A feminine title, Dortha joins Dorothy as an English form of Dorothea. All three monikers ultimately derive from the Greek elements doron, meaning "gift," and theos, meaning "God," giving them the translation "gift of God." While your child's mere presence will brighten a room, they'll discover many ways to help and support those closest to them. From making everyone feel included to sharing their talents with others, sweet Dortha's future kind deeds will enrich the world.
