History & Origin
Dorlisa is a blended coinage joining the Dor- of Doris or Dora to Lisa, a short form of Elizabeth. Combining two names, often to honor two relatives, was a warm mid-century custom, and Dorlisa's meaning is the sum of its parts rather than a single root.
It stayed rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year around its high in 1971. A woman named Dorlisa then is in her mid-fifties today.
