The surname Dolman has a long and varied history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Old English word "dolman," which originally referred to a type of loose-fitting cloak or mantle. Over time, it became a surname associated with individuals who either produced or wore such garments.
In Ireland, the Dolman surname is most commonly found in County Cork. It is believed that the name was brought to Ireland during the Norman invasion of the 12th century. The Dolmans were originally Norman settlers who integrated into Gaelic society over the centuries.
Throughout history, individuals with the surname Dolman played diverse roles in Irish society. They were farmers, laborers, merchants, and tradesmen. Some achieved prominence as local leaders or held positions of authority in their communities.
The Dolman name has also spread beyond Ireland, particularly to other English-speaking countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. This can be attributed to Irish immigration during the 19th and early 20th centuries, when many individuals with Irish heritage sought new opportunities abroad.
