It is of unknown meaning but is believed to be connected to the Scottish word 'doss', meaning 'to toss or throw'. While it's relatively uncommon as a first name, Doshie brings a distinct touch of Celtic heritage to its bearer.

Spelled with an 'h', Doshie stands out even more, giving it a unique phonetic appeal.
