      The name Doria finds its origins in the ancient Greek language, derived from the Greek word doron, meaning gift, and thalassa, meaning sea. Combined, Doria can be interpreted as from the sea or gift from the sea. This etymology reflects the close relationship between the Greek civilization and the Mediterranean Sea, which played a significant role in their culture and history.
