The name Doty is of English origin, derived from the Middle English 'Doti', which was used to denote an inhabitant of a village called Doddington. This name evolved over time and became known as Doty. It is a rare and unique given name that has been used sparingly throughout history. There is some evidence of the name being used in England during the Middle Ages, but it has not gained widespread popularity and remains quite uncommon today.
No significant change in popularity; steady at seven births per year from 1960 onwards.
