A girls’ name of Spanish origin, meaning sorrows or pains.
Dolores by the numbers
In 2025, 14 babies in England and Wales were named Dolores. In the US, 48 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 12,838 babies in 1930, so it is a 1930s name that has since fallen a long way.
