Doris

Doris is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek Doris, a name meaning "gift of the ocean" or "Dorian woman," derived from the ancient Dorian Greek people. In Greek mythology, Doris was an Oceanid — a sea nymph — and the mother of the fifty Nereids.

Doris dominated U.S. popularity charts in the 1930s and 1940s, with Doris Day — actress, singer, and animal welfare advocate — becoming the most famous bearer of the name. Warm, cheerful, and carrying the sparkle of golden-era Hollywood, Doris is one of the most charming of the mid-century names ripe for revival.
