Of the Dorian tribe; gift
Dorianne is a feminine elaboration of Dorian, which originally referred to a member of the Dorians, an ancient Greek tribe. It is also frequently associated with the Greek word 'doron', meaning gift. The name gained a more modern, lyrical quality through the addition of the French-style suffix -anne.
