Docia Origin and Meaning

Docia is a vintage feminine name with Greek origins, functioning as a diminutive of Eudocia, meaning 'good teaching' or 'good doctrine.' The name enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become quite rare. Docia has a sweet, nostalgic quality that aligns with the revival of other vintage names, though it remains distinctively uncommon.
