Doralie blends Dora with the French feminine suffix -lie, echoing names like Rosalie and Amélie. Dora itself is a diminutive of Dorothea or Theodora, from Greek elements doron “gift” and theos “god,” yielding the meaning “gift of God.” The -lie ending reflects the French adaptation of Latin -lia/-liae endings in feminine names, giving Doralie a softly lyrical, Francophone feel. Some modern bearers also view it as a playful hybrid of Dora and Rosalie.

As a given name, Doralie is rare but attested in French-speaking contexts and appears sporadically from the late 19th century onward, with occasional use in Quebec and Belgium.
