HelpRe: Names from the Hebrides
in reply to a message by Pie
Dolina!! My father had a sister named Dolina.My aunt, she would have been, but she died as a child, before my father was born. I'd NEVER seen it before.
This girl was always called Dolly, and I'd assumed it was a nick name for Dorothy, but no.
Thanks for posting this.
I see my own name, Jean , is there also.

I'd never seen it before either and assumed it was a one-off, but now you've said that I've just had a look on ancestry, and it was a fairly well-used name in Scotland. Some more info here: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/dolina
