Name of a deity worshipped besides God: disliked
The name is the Greek word for goddess, so it falls under names of deities worshipped besides Allah. In practice it is mostly used as a short form of Dorothea or Theodora, and many families give it without that meaning in mind. A scholar's call: no ruling on this exact name was read.
