History & Origin

Delories is a spelling variant of Dolores, from the Spanish devotional title Maria de los Dolores, 'Mary of the Sorrows'. The name's tender 'sorrows' meaning, honoring the Virgin Mary, passes down from Dolores.

It was a modest choice that peaked in the early nineteen-forties alongside Dolores and faded as the whole family fell from fashion; it reads today as a grandmother's name and has not revived.

Did you know? Delories reshapes Dolores with an -ies ending; it crested around 1941, riding the same mid-century fashion that made Dolores a favorite.
