History and Origin
Doris (in ancient Greek Δωρίς / Dôrís) is a famous Oceanid of Greek mythology, mother of the Nereids. It may also refer to:
English and German: from the classical Greek ethnic name meaning ‘Dorian woman’. The Dorians were one of the tribes of Greece; their name was traditionally derived from an ancestor, Dōros (son of Hellen, who gave his name to the Hellenes), but it is more likely that Doros (whose name could be from dōron gift) was invented to account for a tribal name of obscure origin. In Greek mythology, Doris was a minor goddess of the sea, the consort of Nereus and the mother of his daughters, the Nereids or seanymphs, who numbered fifty (in some versions, more). The name was especially popular from about 1880 to about 1930, and was borne by the American film star Doris Day (b. 1924).
