Delores is a variant of the Spanish name Doloresmeaning "sorrows". It is a shortening of the Roman Catholic epithet of the Virgin Mary: "Our Lady of Sorrows".
Dolores is not really a saint's name. It derives from a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary 'Our Lady of Sorrows (Dolores)'.
Our Lady of Sorrows is the name often used, you will see it as the name of a school or church as well, and refers to Mary , mother of Christ. Additional Information Catholics refer to Mary the Mother of Jesus by certain titles, the way people might refer to Mrs. Obama as "the First Lady," or to Queen Elizabeth as "the British Sovereign." We refer to Mary as Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Mother of Perpetual Help, Our Lady Queen of Peace, Our Lady of Good Counsel, and lots of others. Many parishes and schools bear these names, but all honor Mary, the Mother of Jesus. One awkward result of this custom is that when the results of school soccer or football games appear in next day's newspapers; the headlines sometimes read, "Our Lady of Sorrows annihilates Saint Vincent's," which Catholics understand right away, but which may appear odd to non-Catholics.
