Dori

Dori is a masculine Hebrew name meaning "my generation", derived from the Hebrew root dor (generation). It appears in the Bible as a Levite ancestor in 1 Chronicles 28:9, though it is rare in ancient sources. In modern Israel, it is used as a given name and is also occasionally used as a feminine name in other cultures (e.g., as a Japanese unisex name). Dori does not have a strong distribution outside Israel, but it remains in limited use among Jewish communities.
