Doris (Oceanid)
Doris (; Ancient Greek: Δωρίς/Δωρίδος means 'bounty'), in Greek mythology, was a sea goddess. She was one of the 3,000 Oceanids, daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Etymology
The name Doris is derived from the noun for a gift, δῶρον, from proto-Indo-European *déh₃rom of the same meaning. Function 
When not associated with a god, Doris represented the fertility of the ocean, goddess of the rich fishing-grounds found at the mouths of rivers where fresh water mingled with the brine. Family 
Being an Oceanid meant she was a sister of the river gods. By her husband Nereus, Doris was the mother of Nerites and mother to the fifty Nereids, including Thetis, Amphitrite and Galatea. Namesake
