Doriah is Greek, Italian, Latin in Origin.
Doriah is a modern English given name, most plausibly an embellished spelling of Doria with the -iah ending familiar from Mariah and Moriah. Doria functions both as a short form of Dora (ultimately from Theodora/Dorothea, Greek: doron “gift” + theos “god”) and as the feminine counterpart of Dorian, a name tied to the ancient Greek Dorian people and the region Doris. The Italian surname Doria (as in the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria) has also shaped its visibility.
Because of the Dora/Theodora line, Doriah is commonly interpreted to mean “gift” or, by association, “gift of God”; via the Dorian route it can be read “of Doris” or “Dorian woman.” Rarity characterizes its usage in the US and UK from the late 20th century onward. Variants and relatives include Doria, Dorria, Dorea, Doriana, Doriane, Dariah/Darya, and the diminutives Dori and Ria.
