This description is being fetched from DOLAN.

Dolan: A Name with a Celtic Twist.

This name has Irish roots. Many Irish surnames, like this one, came from nicknames, descriptions, or places. This makes tracing its exact beginnings tough.

Description:

It might be used in a very small group or area, but I need more info to say for sure.

This names connection to a powerful god whose representative is very popular is known.

You wont find a lot of nicknames or different spellings used widely. While you might see a very occasional "Dolans" (with an added s) or a misspelling like "DOOLAN," these are uncommon. Basically, Dolan is mostly just Dolan.
