- Dorinda Meaning
- Combination of Dora and the name suffix inda. It was apparently coined by the English writers John Dryden and William D'Avenant for their play 'The Enchanted Island' (1667). In the play, a loose adaptation of Shakespeare 's 'The Tempest', Dorinda is the sister of Miranda. Dorinda is a diminutive of Dora, ultimately derived from Dorothy. Dorothy originates in Greek language and means "God"s gift". It was derived from nowadays much less popular name Dorothea. In the United States the name Dorothy was the most popular in the first half of the 20th century, thanks to L. Frank Baum"s novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900 and introducing the character of Dorothy Gale. Later on, in 1939, the novel was made into a film simply called The Wizard of Oz.
