Doloris Origin and Meaning

The name Doloris is a girl's name.

Doloris is a feminine name derived from Latin, related to 'dolor' meaning 'sorrow' or 'pain.' It's a variant spelling of Dolores, which originated from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, 'María de los Dolores' (Mary of Sorrows). Despite its etymology, the name has been embraced for its melodic quality and traditional feel rather than its literal meaning. Doloris reached its peak popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s but has since become less common. The name carries a vintage charm and has been featured in literature and film, including as a character in the Harry Potter series (though spelled Dolores). The variant spelling with 'i' instead of 'e' gives the name a slightly distinctive quality.
