Dorinda Name Meaning and Origin
Dorinda is traditionally feminine and has its roots in Greek and Spanish origins. It is often interpreted to mean “gift of God” or “beautiful gift,” blending elements of the Greek word dōron (meaning “gift”) with the suffix -inda, which may suggest grace or beauty. Dorinda gained literary prominence through the works of English and Spanish poets during the Renaissance, including its appearance in Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia. The name evokes a sense of classical elegance and charm, reflecting its rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
