Dorrit

Dorrit is a Danish diminutive form of Dorothea, which derives from the Greek elements doron, meaning gift, and theos, meaning god, giving the overall sense of gift of God. The name gained wider international recognition through Charles Dickens, who used it as the title character's name in his 1857 novel Little Dorrit, though in that work it functions as a nickname for Amy. Related forms include Dorothy, Dorothea, and Dorota.
