Gift or dweller by the gate
Doren is a rare name with multiple potential roots. It is often considered a variant of the Greek name Dorian, meaning 'of the Doric tribe,' or a derivative of the Hebrew name Doron, meaning 'gift.' In some English contexts, it may also function as a topographic surname for someone living near a gate.
