What is the meaning of the name Dorri ?

Dorri is English, Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Dorri is a modern English given name most often a respelling of Dorrie/Dori, the pet form of Dorothy or Dorothea (from Greek doron “gift” + theos “god”), thus carrying the meaning “gift of God.” It also aligns with Hebrew Dori (דורי), used for any gender, derived from dor “generation” with the possessive -i, yielding the sense “my generation”; in Israel it can also function as a nickname for Dor or Dorit. Less commonly, Dorri can echo the classical Greek name Doris (“a Dorian woman”), giving it a Hellenic flavor without altering pronunciation.

In English-speaking countries Dorrie turns up in late 19th‑ and early 20th‑century records as a familiar for Dorothy, and the streamlined -i spellings (Dori/Dorri) saw mid‑century and 1960s usage. The name remains rare today. Variant forms include Dori, Dorie, Dorrie, Dory, and Dorry; related longer names are Dorothy, Dorothea, Theodora, Dorit, and Dor.
