History and Origin
Dora (Greek: Δώρα) is a female name of Greek origin being a shortened form or derived from Dorothea (Dorothy), Theodora meaning "Gift" or in its full form "God's Gift", from δῶρον, doron, "gift" + θεός, theos, "god". The name Dora can also be a short form of Isadora, Isidora and other such compound names. The earliest form of the word doron is the Mycenaean Greek
English and French: 19th-century coinage, representing a short form of Isidora, Theodora, Dorothy, and any other name containing the Greek element dōron gift. In some cases, it seems to have been taken as actually meaning ‘gift’, presumably as a Latinate version of the Greek word. Wordsworth's daughter (b. 1804), christened Dorothy, was always known in adult life as Dora. The name's popularity was enhanced by the character of Dora Spenlow in Dickens's novel David Copperfield (1850).
