Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Dorotka je slovenská zdrobnená a domácka podoba mena Dorota, utvorená príponou -ka. Dorota vychádza z gréckeho mena Dōrothea, ženského náprotivku mena Dōrotheos. Jeho zložkami sú dōron „dar“ a theos „boh“; význam je „Boží dar“. Slovenské tvorenie zdrobneniny nemení grécky pôvod základného mena.
