Meaning & History

Possibly a variant spelling of Thorald in Denmark, but elsewhere (especially in the anglophone world), this name is most likely a combination of a name that contains the Greek element δῶρον (doron) meaning "gift" (such as Dorus and Theodore) with a name that ends in -ald (such as Archibald, Gerald and Ronald).

Also compare the names Darold and Derald, which look similar and can be partially related in some cases.

A notable bearer of this name is the Dutch news presenter Dorald Megens.
