Doo is a rare unisex given name with several independent roots. In Scots, doo means “dove,” a tender term of endearment that evokes peace and loyalty.

Among Chinese families, Doo appears as a diaspora romanization of the surname 杜 (Mandarin Dù), sometimes inspiring given-name use.

As a forename, Doo remains uncommon but has precedent as a Scottish nickname and as a surname-to-given-name transfer in East Asian communities. Variants and related forms include Du (standard Korean romanization), Dou (Cantonese), Too/Toh (Southeast Asian spellings), and the Scottish Dove. Korean compounds like Doo-hyun, Doo-yeon, or Doo-il are established, while the standalone Doo feels modern and minimalist.
