Etymology

From Old Norse dóttir (ONP)

Shetland use

An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932): Jakobsen, Jakob

dotter, dutter [dotər], sb., daughter. This form with a short, closed o, originating from O.N. dóttir, f., daughter, is now found only here and there as the last part of a compd. in women’s surnames, thus: James’-dotter, John’s-dotter (Y.). The usual Shetl. word, Eng. “daughter”, differs from this in being pronounced (with a long å) “dååtər”.
