A name that means "sorrows (catalan mare de déu dels dolors catalan)".

Dolors is from the Catalan Dolors — Catalan rendition of Dolores (sorrows) — referring to the Catholic devotion to Our Lady of Sorrows (Mare de Déu dels Dolors). Dolors is one of the Catalan feminine Marian-devotion names — central to traditional Catalan Catholic heritage. The Mare de Déu dels Dolors devotion is central to Catalan religious heritage with the seven sorrows (sept dolors) of Mary.
