Derorit as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Derorit

What is the meaning of the name Derorit ?

The baby name Derorit is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced deh-ROH-rit (IPA: /dɛˈrɔrɪt/).

Derorit is Hebrew in Origin.

Derorit is a Hebrew feminine given name derived from dror (דרור), the biblical noun for “freedom, liberty” in Leviticus 25:10; in later Hebrew it also names the swallow/sparrow. The -it ending forms a feminine or diminutive, so Derorit carries both senses: free one and little swallow, evoking unbound movement and birdsong.

As a personal name it emerged chiefly in modern Israel with the revival of Hebrew and independence-era ideals, though its root is ancient. Usage remains uncommon outside Israel. Variants and related forms include Drorit (the most common transliteration), Drora (another feminine form), and the masculine Dror; surnames like Drori share the same root. Alternative spellings may show vowels as Derorit/Drorit. The name’s meaning aligns with virtue names such as Liberty, while its bird imagery parallels names like Lark or Swallow.
