A type of golden-colored fish, also known as John Dory, valued for its culinary and commercial qualities.
From French 'dorée' (golden), derived from Latin 'deauratus' (gilded); the name directly references the fish's distinctive golden coloring.
John Dory fish were so prized in medieval Europe that the fish earned a quasi-human name—'John' (or 'Jean' in French)—as if it were a distinguished person worthy of a proper name.
