Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Dorisa je zriedkavá rozšírená podoba ženského mena Doris, utvorená príponou -a. Meno Doris pochádza zo starogréckeho Dōrís (Δωρίς) a označovalo Dórku, teda ženu z gréckeho kmeňa Dórov alebo obyvateľku Dóridy. Časté spájanie so starogréckym dôron („dar“) je ľudovoetymologické; Dorisa nie je náležité pokladať za odvodeninu mena Dorotea.
