Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

According to the documented Greek interpretation, the name Doris refers to a Dorian woman.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Grécky pôvod mena je doložený, jeho význam však odborné zdroje nevykladajú jednotne. Oxfordský Lexicon of Greek Personal Names uvádza pri Δωρίς význam „Dórka, dórska žena“. Švédsky ústav Isof pripúšťa tento výklad, ale uprednostňuje súvislosť so slovom dōron, „dar“. Význam „dar mora“ nemožno pokladať za spoľahlivý doslovný preklad.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: Oxford – Lexicon of Greek Personal Names a Isof – Doris. Nesklonnosť vychádza zo všeobecných pravidiel pre cudzie ženské mená: JÚĽŠ SAV – Kultúra slova 1968/5. Domácke podoby sú možné rodinné oslovenia, nie overený zoznam najobľúbenejších zdrobnenín. Konkrétne heslo v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
