Dorian (boy)

  • It sounds really sophisticated to me.
  • Dorian means "From the sea" in Greek.
  • gentle-sounding, uncommon.
  • Mostly because of a character in an Oscar Wilde book, "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" which is my all time favorite book.

    • Oscar Wilde first coined this name for his 1891 novel 'The Picture of Dorian Gray.' He most likely derived the name from the Dorians, an ancient Greek tribe. Scholars have speculated that the name of the Dorians could be derived from words meaning "tree," "highlands," "slave," or "spear."
