Dorsie is of Scottish origin, derived from the Gaelic 'Dubhrosach', which means 'dark little red-haired one'. It's a unique and uncommon name, often associated with strength and individuality due to its scarcity.
"The name Dorsie experienced popularity highs in the mid-1910s with 12 births in 1915 and a spike to 14 in 1919. It maintained moderate popularity through the late 1920s, peaking again at 10 births in both 1926 and 1927. Post-WWII, the name's popularity declined but remained steady with around 6-8 births per year until the 1950s when it dropped to as low as 5 births annually."
