There is a male form, Doroteo, and Pancho Villa had it before he changed his name to Pancho Villa. I don't think that would work very well though!

Wow, what a great name! I much prefer it to Dorothy, I think Dorotea is just so spunky, yet old world classy. While I'm not a fan of Dorothea, I would definitely consider Dorotea for a future daughter.
