Dorothy Mary
This Dollhouse is named after Pauls mother, Dorothy Mary.
Dorothy is a female given name from Greek meaning "Gods Gift",
from God. The earliest form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek
meaning "gifts" written in Linear B syllabic script. Although
much less common, there are also male equivalents in English such
as "Dorie" from the Greek masculine. Dorothy was one of the most
popular girl's names in the United States between 1904 and 1940,
when it was ranked among the top 10 most popular names given to
newborn girls. The name remained among the top 100 most popular
names for American girls until 1961. Of course, Dorothy is the name
of heroine in L. Frank Baum's classic children's novel "The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz" which was later adapted in immensely popular
film "The Wizard of Oz" which featured Judy Garland as Dorothy.
Mary is a feminine given name, the English form of the name Maria,
which was in turn a Latin form of the Greek names Mariam or Maria
found in the New Testament. Some meanings of the name suggested
"Wished for child" or "Our Lady" or "Beloved Lady".
The name was also considered in the Middle Ages to be connected to the
sea and the word mare, as in the term Stella Maris or "Star of the Sea",
an epithet for the Virgin Mary. It was viewed as too holy a name for
use in Celtic communities until toward the end of the 15th century,
though other forms of the name were used.
