Doris Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. this is a puzzling name. The first 0 urrence noted is Doris Dorcis Tabitha Mann, a New Englander in 1819. The name is not mentioned by Charlotte Mary Yonge, History of ChristianNames, 2 vols. 1863. Revised ed. 1884, and seems to have leaped into sudden popularity towards the end of the 19th C. It is the name of a character in Mrs Oliphant’s novel Effie Ogilvie 1886. Doris is the name of a sea nymph in Greek mythology, Juvenal uses it for the mistress addressed in several of his poems, and it was the name of one of the four concubines of Agrippa the Prefect, whose conversion and martyrdom are related in the apocryphal Acts of Peter; but none of these seems to be a cogent reason for the sudden adoption of the name in late-Victorian England.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
Appears in neither ‘Yonge’ nor ‘Swan’, yet it is a frequent f. name, rather avoided by the aristocracy. It is direct from the Latin f. name of the wife of Nereus and of the wife of Dionysius I, Tyrant of Syracuse, also the name of a Greek girl in Juvenal and Propertius.
— Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
A Greek name, meaning: A sacrificial knife.
