Dodo is English, Greek in Origin.
As a feminine English pet form, Dodo belongs to the nickname family of Dorothy. Dorothy entered English through Latin Dorothea, from Greek Dōrothea, the feminine of Dōrotheos. Its elements are dōron, gift, and theos, god, so the literal sense is gift of God. The reduplicated Do-do shape reflects nursery-style shortening of the first syllable rather than a separate Greek formation.
Dorothy became familiar in medieval and early modern England through the cult of Saint Dorothea of Caesarea and later domestic naming. Dodo appears chiefly as an informal diminutive, alongside Dot, Dolly, Doll, Dottie, and Dora, rather than as an independent register name. A separate biblical masculine Dodo, Hebrew Dōdō, occurs in Samuel, Judges, and Chronicles, but it is etymologically unrelated to the Dorothy nickname.
