Name Meaning

pet form (originally a nursery form) of Dolores , now established as an independent given name in the English-speaking world. It owes some of its popularity to the fame of Lola Montez ( 1818–1861 ), the stage name adopted by Marie Gilbert , an Irish dancer and courtesan who had affairs with Liszt , Dumas , and others. From 1846–8 she so captivated the elderly Ludwig I of Bavaria that she became the virtual ruler of the country, precipitating riots, a constitutional crisis, and the abdication of the king. She arrived in New York in 1851 , and spent the last years of her life working to help prostitutes.
