Dorye is in Origin.

Dorye is a rare modern given name with several credible roots. In the Himalayan sphere it can represent an alternative Latinization of Tibetan Dorje (rdo rje), the “vajra” - a ritual thunderbolt/diamond symbol in Vajrayana Buddhism - also seen as Dorji in Bhutan. In Western usage, Dorye reads as a creative respelling of Dory/Dorie, diminutives of Dorothy or Dorothea from Greek doron “gift” + theos “god.” A faint French echo comes from Dorée, “gilded,” seen as a byname and surname.

As a personal name, Dorye surfaces sporadically from the late 20th century, chosen for familiar sound with uncommon finish. It is broadly unisex, though more often feminine in English contexts. Related forms include Dory, Dorie, Dori, Doree/Dorée, Dora, Dorothy, Dorothea, and the Himalayan Dorje/Dorji/Dorjee. Corresponding meanings span “thunderbolt/diamond (vajra),” “gift of God,” or “golden,” depending on the lineage a family wishes to highlight.
