Dorisann is a unique and captivating name of Greek origin, meaning 'gift' or 'present'. It was quite popular during the mid-20th century but has since become less common, making it a charming choice for those seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name. Dorisann consists of two distinct parts: 'Doris', which is derived from the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, and 'Ann', a form of the Latin name Anna, meaning 'favored' or 'grace'. Thus, Dorisann can be interpreted as 'gift of grace' or 'present of favor'. This name offers an elegant balance between classic and distinctive, making it an appealing choice for parents looking for something special yet timeless.
The name Dorisann experienced its peak popularity in the late 1930s to early 1940s with seven births each in 1936 and 1938. However, it seems to have declined significantly after that period, with a total of only 27 births from 1948 onwards over four decades.
