Meaning & origin
Dosha is a rare and largely forgotten name that briefly appeared in U.S. birth records in the late 19th century. Its first recorded year was 1880, with a peak in 1882, after which it quickly fell out of use. The name has not been recorded in recent decades, making it an extremely uncommon choice. Its uncertain origins and lack of modern usage suggest it was a localized or one-off coinage.
Dosha first appeared in U.S. records in the 1880s, with a small peak in 1882. It may have originated as a diminutive or variant of Dora, or as a feminine variant of Doshe. Its usage was extremely rare and has not persisted into modern times.
