Dorli is a modern and unique Hebrew feminine name that combines the word 'dor' (generation) with the affectionate suffix 'li'. The name carries a profound meaning of generational belonging and historical connection, while providing a sense of lightness and delicacy through its melodic ending. The word 'dor' appears throughout the Bible and symbolizes the succession of generations, the continuity of the people, and the bond between fathers and sons. When the affectionate suffix 'li' is added, the name takes on a more personal and intimate character, as if saying 'my generation' or 'belonging to my generation'. Names incorporating the word 'dor' were particularly popular during the youth immigration waves of the 1950s and 1960s, when a new generation of children was born in the Land of Israel and parents sought names that would express the sense of renewal and hope. Dorli conveys a feeling of belonging to a special generation, a generation of change and revolution, a generation building a new reality. The name Dorli also carries a dimension of generational responsibility and historical awareness. Every generation in the Jewish people carries with it a unique mission, and Dorli symbolizes the awareness that we are part of a long and glorious generational continuum. In Jewish tradition, generational memory is a central value - 'Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations' (Deuteronomy 32:7). The name gives its bearer a sense that she is a link in the chain of generations, a bridge between past and future. At the same time, the suffix 'li' gives the name a young and contemporary character, balancing the historical weight with lightness and youth. The name is particularly suitable for families wishing to emphasize their generational connection, the importance of preserving family tradition, or the sense of belonging to a unique generation. In the Israeli cultural context, Dorli integrates well with the trend of original Hebrew names that developed during the twentieth century. This is a name created from the desire to generate new and original Hebrew names that are not necessarily biblical but lean on deep Hebrew roots. The name is relatively rare, which gives it uniqueness and distinction. Women bearing the name Dorli are generally perceived as having strong character, historical awareness, and a sense of responsibility toward the community and people. The name conveys a message of continuity, of connection between generations, and of hope for the future. It is particularly suitable for families who see importance in preserving family memory, in transmitting values between generations, and in understanding that each generation contributes its part to the collective building. Dorli is a name that reminds us that we are part of something greater than ourselves, part of a long and meaningful historical continuum, and that we have an important role in fulfilling our generation's destiny.

In Kabbalah, the concept of 'dor' (generation) symbolizes the reincarnation of souls and generational rectification. Each generation brings with it holy sparks that require repair, and Dorli represents the soul aware of its generational role and its part in repairing the world.
