History & Origin

Doriann extends Dorian, the name meaning 'of the Dorians,' an early Greek people. The extra n gives the classical name a softer, more feminine finish while keeping its steady three-beat rhythm and its echoes of Doric temples and modes.

The spelling stayed rare, reaching a small high around 1965 before slipping from use. A Doriann from that time is in her late fifties or sixties today.

Did you know? The Dorians gave their name to the Doric order of Greek architecture and to a whole musical mode, so the root beneath Doriann touches columns, melodies, and ancient history alike.
