Dorothee

Although Dorothee has only recently made its appearance on the American naming scene, it’s been used in other parts of the world for generations, primarily in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. It is the feminine form of Dorotheus, which comes from the Greek language. The meaning of Dorothee is 'gift of god'. However, the name is often associated with beauty, innocence, and purity. The name Dorotheus was most famously used by St. Dorotheus, who lived in Gaza during the 6th century A.D. The name was revived in the 20th century when it became popular among the German-speaking people of Switzerland, Germany, and Scandinavia. The most prominent people with the name Dorothee include dressage rider Dorothee Schneider, Austrian sport-shooter Dorothee Deuring, German Paralympic cyclist and soprano Dorothee Mields, and German politician Dorothee Bär.
