Dorota is the Polish form of Dorothy — combining the Greek doron (gift) and theos (God), meaning "gift of God."
Dorota Mason and Dorota Świeniewicz are Polish volleyball Olympians. Dorota is the housekeeper in Gossip Girl.
Dorota does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Dorota reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
