Dorotheus or Dorotheos is a male given name from Greek Dōrótheos (Δωρόθεος), meaning "God's Gift", from δῶρον (dōron), "gift" + θεός (theós), "god". Its feminine counterpart is Dorothea, (Dorothy). Theodore means the same, with the root words in reverse order. The earliest form of the word δῶρον is the Mycenaean Greek do-ra, meaning "gifts", written in Linear B syllabic script; the feminine form Theodora is also attested in Linear B as 𐀳𐀃𐀈𐀨, te-o-do-ra.
Original Greek masculine form of Dorothea: from Greek elements doron (gift) and theos (God).
