Dosi

Dosi is a term that can refer to several distinct subjects, depending on context. The most common uses are linguistic (a plural noun in Italian) and onomastic (a surname).

In Italian, dosi is the plural form of dose, used to indicate a specific amount of a substance to be administered or consumed. It appears in medical prescriptions, nutrition guidance, pharmacology, and research protocols as a unit of measurement for medicines, supplements, or other substances.

As a surname, Dosi exists across different cultures and regions and is encountered in public records and personal names. The etymology and geographic distribution of the name vary by lineage and country, and it may derive from historical occupations, regional identifiers, or personal names in certain populations.

DOSI in uppercase is also used as an acronym or initialism for various organizations, programs, or projects. In these cases, the full form and meaning are context dependent and there is no single universally recognized definition.

Because dosi can refer to dosage terminology, a family name, or an organizational acronym, clarification by context is important to avoid ambiguity. The term therefore functions as a multi-use label rather than a single, dominant concept.
