Etymology
In the Hebrew Bible , the city is referred to as Adoraim (2 Chron. 11.9). The city was called by Macabees Adora ( 1 Macc. 13.20). The same name was also often used by Josephus . A weak letter is usually lost in Hebrew to Arabic sound conversion, such as in the case of Adoraim to Dura . A loss of a first feeble letter is not uncommon and the form of Dora could be found as early as in several instances of Josephus writings.
