Dory

Dory is an English given name functioning as a short form of Dorothy or Doris, and occasionally of Isadora. Dorothy derives from the Greek Dorothea, combining doron (gift) and theos (god), yielding the meaning gift of God, while Doris traces to the Greek tribal name for the Dorians or to the sea nymph in Greek mythology. The name gained broad popular recognition through the animated film Finding Nemo (2003) and its sequel, where Dory is the name of a cheerful blue tang fish. Related forms include Dori, Dorrie, and the full names Dorothy and Doris.
