Dolora Origin and Meaning

Dolora is a feminine name with Latin origins, derived from "dolor" meaning "sorrow" or "pain." Despite this etymology, the name has transformed into a melodic, romantic-sounding choice with a vintage appeal. Dolora can be seen as a variation of Dolores, which gained popularity through devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows (Maria de los Dolores) in Catholic traditions. The name has a flowing, musical quality with its three syllables and soft consonants. While never extremely common in English-speaking countries, Dolora peaked in usage during the early 20th century. The name carries a bittersweet beauty and might appeal to parents drawn to names with emotional depth and a slightly antiquated, romantic quality.
