DOROTHEOS (Δωρόθεος). Ancient
Greek name meaning "gift of God," from doros "gift" and theos
"a deity, a god." (History of Christian
Names, Yonge, 1884). The Latin is Dorotheus.
... The number of stems used for
Aryan personal names seems to have been limited, and, though the general
rule of the language was that the prefixed word qualified the second
one, as Theodorus or
Theodore means God-gift (gift from God), yet, when
we meet with the same elements reversed in the personal names, as Dorotheos
or Dorothy (Gift-God), we must conclude that, latterly at least, these
elements were welded together without high regard to the resulting
meaning. (Personal Names and Surnames, Macbain, 1895)
