ArchivesRe: Dorian?
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
According to the Nederlandse Voornamenbank the name is probably English. This is what it says (translated):
Dorian
Gender: male
English name that probably started to be used since Oscar Wilde used it ('The Portrait of Dorian Gray', 1891). He presumably derived the name from the English word 'Dorian', whitch meant 'Dorian, inhabitant of Dorië'.
I don't know how to translate 'Dorië'. Doria perhaps?
