How do you Spell Dorothy in Hawaiian?

There isn't a direct, perfect translation for "Dorothy" in Hawaiian. Here's why and some options:

* Hawaiian doesn't have a direct equivalent for the "th" sound: The closest sounds are "t" or "k" but neither capture the precise pronunciation.

* Hawaiian language is based on sounds, not spelling: This means there might be multiple ways to spell a similar sound.

Here are some possible ways to approximate "Dorothy" in Hawaiian:

* Dōroti: This is a phonetic spelling, using the closest available sounds in Hawaiian.

* Dōroki: This uses "k" instead of "t" for the "th" sound, which might be closer in some dialects.

Important Note: These are just approximations and might not be recognized by native Hawaiian speakers as the "correct" spelling. It's best to use the name in English if you're unsure.
