Dorsha is of African origin, derived from the Yoruba name Dorcas, which means "gentle and peaceful." It is often associated with the Greek word 'dorkas,' meaning gazelle, symbolizing grace and speed. The name Dorsha gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon elsewhere.
"Dorsha had a brief moment of popularity with five babies named in 1992, but overall, it remains a rare choice with no other recorded births."
