About Deloris

Deloris is a feminine name of Latin origin, derived from 'dolor' meaning 'sorrow' or 'pain.' It's related to the Spanish title for the Virgin Mary, 'Nuestra Señora de los Dolores' (Our Lady of Sorrows). Despite its somewhat melancholy etymology, Deloris became quite popular in the United States during the 1920s through 1940s. The name peaked in popularity around 1930 but has declined steadily since the 1950s. Deloris is often considered a variant spelling of Dolores, with the two used interchangeably. The name carries a vintage charm that resonates with the current trend of reviving early-to-mid 20th century names. Deloris evokes images of strong, practical women from America's heartland.

Deloris is also given to boys.

Pronounced duh-LOR-is.

As of October 2026, Deloris ranked #3657 in US births in 1957 SSA, peaked at #2018 in 1937.
