Dorotheos Origin History Gender Mood

Dorotheos is a traditional masculine name of Ancient Greek origin, combining the elements for "gift" and "god," resulting in a profoundly theological meaning. Historically, the name maintains a very low profile in the United States, being primarily associated with families preserving classical Hellenic cultural ties. Its structure firmly classifies it as male worldwide, distinguishing it from its highly popular feminine English variant, Dorothy. The name itself projects an elegant, serious, and classically authoritative mood, rooted deeply in antiquity and scholarly tradition. This nomenclature reflects a strong connection to ancient history rather than contemporary trends.
