Doxey is a village and civil parish in the borough of Stafford in Staffordshire, England; it is a north-western suburb of Stafford. It became a civil parish on 1 April 2005.
==Toponymy== There is some uncertainty about the origin of the name Doxey, but it seems that it was originally Dokesei; this may be "Ducks Island" - a reference to the fact that the centre of Doxey would have been surrounded by marsh. In the Domesday Book, it is spelt Dochesig.
