A small bird; symbol of peace
Dovie originated as an affectionate American diminutive of the name Dove. It refers directly to the bird, which has been a symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit for centuries. While it functioned as a standalone name in the late 19th century, it is now considered a rare vintage gem.
