ArchivesRe: Does my name mean anything???
in reply to a message by Donethia
I agree with Mike: the name sounds Greek, but it is not.
However, we can always engineer an etymology that will suit your fancy ("favored gift"). Here goes:
Donethia could be derived from the Latin *donnum* ("donation, gift") and the Greek *Theos* ("God"). It is therefore quite close in meaning to Dorothy.
