Subject: Dorrit (f., English)
Author: Lumia   (Authenticated as Lumia)

It seems that Dorrit has been used as given name (sometimes as nickname of Dorothy) since the publication of Little Dorrit (1855-1857), by Charles Dickens, despite that in the novel Dorrit is a surname.

Does anybody know the origin of the surname Dorrit?

Thank you
