Meaning & Origin
Dorthy is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, a variant spelling of Dorothy meaning 'gift of God,' from the Greek Dora (gift) and Theos (God). It is simply Dorothy with a transposition of letters.
Dorthy is the slightly informal, alternate spelling of Dorothy — one of the most beloved names in American literary and film history, carried by Dorothy Gale of The Wizard of Oz and Dorothy Parker, the sharp-tongued American wit. The spelling variation gives it a distinctive identity while preserving the name's warm, classic character.
