As reported by arieeoke.blogspot.com, Doraemon's name actually comes from two words: Dora & Emon. Dora is a kind of play on "Nora," which comes from "Nora-Neko" the stray cat. Emon is a kind of traditional addition to the name of a male or human, such as Ishikawa Goemon.
Literally, the name Doraemon can be interpreted as "wild male cat" (wild male cat).
Dora can also mean "gong" (that's "Dora," which is used in the name of the dorayaki cake) Although not "dora" is used in Doraemon's name but it becomes a kind of pun where Doraemon's body is round shaped like a gong.

According to cartoonfact.com, Doraemon's original paint color is yellow. Upon learning that his ear had been bitten by a rat, he fell into a depression, slipping up a tower, where he drank a potion labeled "sadness".
When he cries, the yellow color fades & his voice changes because of the potion. Doraemon is good at English because he understands the English term "In Blue" which means "is sad".
