"Blend of Dora and Lee"
The name Doralee is commonly a female name from the "English" origin.
Doralee is a compound name formed by joining Dora and Lee, both of which are established given names in English-speaking use. Dora derives from the Greek doron, meaning gift, and Lee is an English surname-derived name referring to a meadow or clearing. The recorded first appearance in United States birth records in 1916 is consistent with a two-element combination name rather than a name inherited from an older tradition.
The pronunciation of Doralee is DOR-uh-lee.
