One of the quaintest and most whim
sical of origin Is that from which
Do-olhy sprang. Theos and Zeus,
father of the gods, were Identical
terms In ancient Greece. From Theos

»SSfi 35S.A.2S
Into Dorothea was speedily accnm
pushed and though absolutely Incor
reel, gained-more prevalence In the
Western world than Theodora has ever
achieved.
The beautiful legend of St. Dorothea
helped to give her name widespread
fame. It Is the story of the Cappa
docian maiden who sent the roses of
paradise by angelic hands as testimony
uf the Joy she was reaping Dorothea
became a patron saint In Germany and
lion i n y.
came
feminine.
England st'alghtfy adopted her name j
becauso of Massinger's powerful drama. '
Dorothy was the next step In her evo-ja
liiblon and Dolly became a popular
diminutive. Indeed, so common was
it in usage that It became Ui« eenerlc
term for wooden children or puppets
In the time of Elizabeth Stuart and
hence our own "dolly" or doll, beloved
of the small girl.
Dorothy became a Puritan name at
the height of the reign of the House
of Hanover, and was used by Mrs
Dorothy Cromwell and other Itounhead
daughters. France caled her Doro
thee. while Germany preferred the
original Dorothea, and Italy omitted
the aspirate and made her Dorotea.
England and America favor Dorothy
with its fluffy diminutive Doily. Rus
sia, by some mysterious translation,
derived Darija, though some historians
object to this explanation, claiming
that the patronesses of Darija was an
Athenian lady mai tyred with her hus
band. Chrysantlius, at Home, and
buried In a catacomb which was open

name of Thorothea.
