What is the meaning of the name Dorika ?

The baby name Dorika is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced doh-REE-kah; IPA: /dɔˈriːkə/.

Dorika is Greek in Origin.

Dorika is a Hungarian affectionate diminutive of Dóra and Dorottya, formed with the -ika suffix. These names trace back to Greek Dorothea and Theodora (doron “gift” + theos “god”), giving Dorika the meaning “little Dora” and, by extension, “gift of God.” The form also appears in some South Slavic contexts as a pet name for Dora or Dorota, though usage there is rarer.

In Hungary, Dorika has long functioned as a household nickname found in records and literature, and in recent decades it is sometimes bestowed as an independent given name. Related Hungarian variants include Dóra, Dorottya, Dóri, Dorci, and Dorka; close international cognates are Dora, Dorothy, Dorothea, Dorotea, Dorota, Dorothée, Doroteia, and Teodora. Romanian Dorica is a near spelling variant with similar roots. Name days for the Dor- cluster commonly fall around early February (e.g., 6 February in Hungary).

Dorika is a rare name. It doesn't appear in any of the major national birth registries we track; we found only 31 recorded uses across 14 countries. Expect very few children to share this name.
