Sorrows
Derived from the Spanish title for the Virgin Mary, 'Nuestra Señora de los Dolores' (Our Lady of Sorrows). While the literal meaning refers to grief, it has historically been used as a name of religious devotion and maternal strength. This specific spelling is an English variant of the original Spanish Dolores.
