Doralyne is in Origin.
Doralyne blends the Greek-rooted Dora (from Dorothea/Dorothy, ‘gift [of God]’; Greek doron ‘gift’) with the feminine suffix -lyne, a variant of Lynn/Lyne (ultimately from Welsh llyn or Gaelic linne, ‘lake; pool’) and of French -line as in Aline/Céline. The combined sense is typically taken as ‘gift’ or ‘divine gift,’ with the -lyne element adding lyrical, water-tinged nuance rather than changing the core meaning.
As a modern elaborative coinage in English, with occasional Francophone styling, Doralyne appears rarely from the mid‑20th century onward, aligning with fashions that produced Doreen, Coraline, and later the -lyn/-lynn boom of the 2000s. Documented use remains scarce, giving it a distinctive, boutique feel. Variants include Doralyn, Doralynn, Doraline, Dora-Lyne, and Doralyne; related roots and cognates include Dora, Dorothy, Dorothea, Theodora, and Isidora.
Nothing for Doralyne shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. Such a name is generally either rare, regional or traditional, or a brand-new coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
