What does my name mean?
I've been trying for years to find the meaning of my middle name "Doshie". It was the 1st name of my grandmother and great-grandmother. I have very little info on family background, except the last name is "Colley" (English/Irish). My mother was 1/2 Turkish but the name Doshie was from my father's side. All Colley relatives reside in Alabama and the deep south. HELP ME, PLEASE!!

Is short for Theodosia, a greek name meaning "god given".
Theodosia is an orthodox saint.
