Meaning & Origin

Deloros is a girl's baby name of Spanish origin, a variant of Dolores, derived from the Spanish phrase María de los Dolores meaning 'Mary of Sorrows' — a Catholic title referring to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary.

Dolores is a deeply devotional Spanish name with a tender, sorrowful beauty. Deloros gives it an alternate spelling while preserving the warm, flowing sound of this beloved Spanish Catholic name that has been widely used across Latin America and Spain for centuries.
