"Dobro" has become a brand name for the Gibson guitar company; which refers to a "resonating guitar" with a specific style of cone/web ("resonator") and the well-known round pierced metal on the front of the guitar body.
Chet Akins is playing a resonating guitar (manufactuer ?) on this video:

Sounds like Cousin' Oswald playing some real dobro in there.

It's short for Dopera Brothers, who came from Slovakia and founded Dobro. I'm sure they realized the play on words.
