Dorethia, derived from the Greek 'doron' meaning gift and 'theos' meaning god, is an uncommon yet elegant name of Latin origin. It has a melodic flow to it, with the soft 'o' sounds in both syllables creating a gentle rhythm. Dorethia was popularized during the Middle Ages, often used among noble families, but its usage has since become scarce, making it a unique choice today.
The name Dorethia appears to have been popular among parents during the early to mid-20th century, with the highest number of births occurring in 1958 and 1970, both having 7 births each. The total number of babies named Dorethia over this period is 114.
