Dora ((ギリシア語:Δώρα)) is a female name of Greek origin being a shortened form or derived from Dorothea (Dorothy), Theodora〔(Dora ), Behind the Name〕 meaning "Gift" or in its full form "God's Gift", from , ''doron'', "gift"〔.〕 + , ''theos'', "god".〔.〕 The name ''Dora'' can also be a short form of ''Isadora'', ''Isidora'' and other such compound names.〔As reflected in the article on Newton E. Mason about his wife or in the film ''Isadora'' about dancer Isadora Duncan, where her stage name is "Peppy Dora".〕 The earliest form of the word ''doron'' is the Mycenaean Greek , ''do-ra'', meaning "gifts", written in the Linear B syllabic script, but it is not an anthroponym, it is only the plural () of said word;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Linear B word do-ra ) 〕 on the other hand, the names ''Theodora'' and ''Amphidora'' are attested in Linear B as , ''te-o-do-ra'', and , ''a-pi-do-ra'', respectively. The masculine counterpart of the latter, i.e. ''Amphidoros'', is also found: , ''a-pi-do-ro''.〔 〕 In the Russian language, Dora can be a diminutive of the male first name Agafodor.〔Superanskaya, p. 24〕 ==People== *Dora Altmann (1881-1971), German actress *Dora Anastasiou (born 1988), Cypriot beauty queen *Dora Bakoyannis (born 1954), Greek politician *Dora Bryan (born 1924), British actress *Dora Carrington (1893-1932), British painter *Dora Gabe (1886-1983), Bulgarian Jewish poet *Dora Hand (c. 1844-1878), American dance hall singer in Dodge City, Kansas *Dora Lewis (born 1862), American suffragist *Dora Maar (1907-1997), French model and photographer *Dora Mavor Moore (1888-1979), Canadian actress *Dora Pejačević (1885-1923), Croatian composer *Dora Russell (1894-1986), British author 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dora (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
