MEANING OF NAME

I've added this as a post, because it was taking up too much room.

Meaning of Name

Dole

1. English: from Middle English dole ‘portion of land’ (Old English dal ‘share’, ‘portion’). The term could denote land within the common field, a boundary mark, or a unit of area; so the name may be of topographic origin or a status name.

Doll

1. English: nickname for a foolish individual, from Middle English dolle ‘dull’, ‘foolish’ (Old English dol). The byform dyl(le) gave rise to Middle English dil(le), dul(le), modern English dull. Compare Dill 3.

D'Almaines C w Bardsley, in his book English Surnames, London, 1875, has this to say: "The more inland traders were styled 'Almaines', or merchants 'd'Almaine', terms common enough in our earlier archives as 'le Alemaund', 'le Aleman', or 'de Almania', and thus have sprung our Alemans, D'Almaines, Dalmans, Dollmans and Dolman." (Dolman Compendium 1940) I know which possibility I prefer!!
