The surname Dolling has its origins in Ireland and can be traced back to the early medieval period. The name is believed to be of Gaelic origin, derived from the Gaelic word "daol," meaning "a descendant of Daol." Daol, in turn, is a personal name that is thought to have originated from the word "dall," meaning "blind."
The surname Dolling was originally used as a patronymic, indicating descent from a male ancestor named Daol. Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of the name evolved, resulting in variations such as Dalling, Dollen, and Dollan.
During the medieval period, Ireland experienced significant Norse and Anglo-Norman influences, which had an impact on surnames. It is likely that the Dolling surname was influenced by these external factors, leading to further variations in spelling and pronunciation.
As with many Irish surnames, the history of the Dolling name is closely tied to the history of the Celtic people in Ireland. The surname likely originated in a specific geographic area or clan, indicating a shared ancestry and heritage among individuals with the Dolling surname.
Today, individuals with the Dolling surname can be found across Ireland and in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities.
