Dror is Hebrew in Origin.
Dror (Hebrew: דְּרוֹר, also transliterated Deror or D’ror) is a Hebrew given name meaning “liberty” or “freedom,” with an older nuance of “free‑flowing” (as in Exodus 30:23’s mor deror, “flowing myrrh”). In biblical poetry it can denote a small bird - the swallow or house sparrow (Psalm 84:3) - so the name also carries overtones of lightness and flight. The word features prominently in Leviticus 25:10, “proclaim deror throughout the land,” the verse engraved on the Liberty Bell.
As a given name, Dror gained currency with the revival of Hebrew and Israeli statehood, chosen to symbolize independence and release. It is used chiefly for boys in Israel but can be unisex. Cultural echoes include the 10th‑century Sabbath hymn “Dror Yikra,” attributed to Dunash ben Labrat. Variants and related forms include Drora and Drorit (feminine), the surname Drori, and spellings Dror/Deror/D’ror.
