What is the meaning of the name Dorofie ?

Dorofie is Greek in Origin.

Dorofie is a rare modern variant connected to the Greek names Dorotheos (m.) and Dorothea (f.), built from doron "gift" and theos "God," hence "gift of God." The spelling echoes East Slavic Dorofei/Dorofey while visually aligning with Western forms like Dorothy or Dorothée, so it can read as either feminine or unisex depending on tradition.

In Christian hagiography, Saint Dorothea of Caesarea and Saint Dorotheus of Tyre carried the name, which spread through medieval Europe and the Orthodox world. English Dorothy flourished in the 17th century and peaked in the early 1900s; Slavic Dorofei persisted as a traditional male given name. Related and variant forms include Dorothea, Dorothy, Dorotea, Dorothée, Doroteia, Dorota, Dorofei/Dorofey, Dorofiy, and nicknames Dora, Dori, Dot, Dottie, Thea. See also Theodora/Theodore, meaning the same with elements reversed.
