Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno súvisí s pomenovaním starogréckych Dórov a s gréckym etnonymom Δωριεύς (Dōrieús) vo význame „Dór, príslušník Dórov“. Ako osobné meno ho preslávil Oscar Wilde, ktorý ho použil pre titulnú postavu románu Portrét Doriana Graya; pôvodný význam etnonyma nie je spoľahlivo objasnený.
