Origin, Meaning, And History Of Dorian

Dorian, a beautiful unisex name, is of Greek origin, derived from the word Doron meaning “gift.” Dorian is also usually a surname of the Irish, derived from the Old Gaelic O’Deoradhain, with O’ signifying “grandson or male descendant of,” and the personal byname Deorain, which means ‘an exile, wanderer or possibly stranger.’

The name Dorian is believed to have been derived from Doris in Greek mythology, connected with two words- Doron meaning “gift” and Zoros meaning “pure.” Dorian literally means “of Doris” referring to the son of Helen of Sparta. He was one of the heroes of Greek mythology and the founder of the Dorian race.

Dorian can also be a literal translation of Doris, a small district in Central Greece that was believed to be the mother country of the Dorian conquerors. The Dorians were one of the four major ethnic groups of ancient Greece who got their name from Doris, the small district. Doris was also the name of a Sea Goddess, who was one of the 3000 Oceanids and the daughter of Oceanus and Tethys.

With a formal and classic sound, Dorian bears a wide range of alternate spellings of Doriane Doarian Doariann Doriann Doaryan Doryan, and Doryann with nicknames like Dor, Dori, Dory, Rian, and Dorri.

Mainly popular in the mid-20th century, Dorian can be found in notable works of fiction. The name got traction with the popular novel “The Picture of Dorian Grey” by Oscar Wilde. Dorian Grey is the main protagonist of this 1890 novel, who is a handsome and aristocratic Victorian man who becomes possessive of his own beauty. Dorian Havilliard is another important fictional character appearing in the American fantasy novel series “Throne of Glass.” He is the crown prince of the kingdom of Adarlan and the eldest son of the King of Adarlan and Queen Georgina.

Dorian’s Zodiac Sign As Per Western Astrology

Western astrology includes the construction of a horoscope based on the person’s exact time of birth and location to understand the positions of the planet, stars, and zodiac signs at that time. However, in popular culture, it is often narrowed down to the sun sign, which depends on the person’s birth date.There are 12 zodiac signs, each having dominant traits, planetary rulers, elemental connection, and more.

Zodiac sign or Sun sign

The Earth’s orbit around the sun is divided into 12 zodiac signs covering 30-degree sectors. According to Western astrology, the zodiac or sun sign depends on the sun’s position in one of these sectors at the time of your birth. Starting from the sun’s position at the March equinox, the chart goes anti-clockwise from Aries, followed by Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These signs are ruled by planetary bodies - Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Furthermore, they are categorized into triplicities or elemental signs - fire, water, air, and earth - that govern their characteristics. Each of these zodiac signs features certain personality traits that may determine how a person presents themselves.

Why the date of birth matters

Each zodiac sign in Western astrology is linked to a specific range of dates in the year. Unlike Vedic astrology, where names can sometimes be used to infer astrological details, Western astrology relies entirely on the birth date.

To know more about your baby’s zodiac sign, choose the period in which your baby’s date of birth falls, from the options given below. This will give you a glimpse into the world of astrology tailored for your baby.

grey quote icon

The name you give a child at birth is like their numerological DNA - it is a blueprint of who they are, their talents and character traits, their likes and dislikes, and much more. So choose carefully and, if possible, consider an ancestral name, especially one that belonged to an ancestor who did well and lived a good life. But consult a numerologist for more insight and perhaps a little fine-tuning by changing a letter or adding a middle name.
