Derived from the Greek noun δόλος (dolos), which literally means "bait" and has a figurative meaning of "deceit, guile, treachery, trickery". For more information, please see Dolos. In Greek mythology, Dolon was a Trojan who betrayed Troy during the Trojan war, for which he ultimately paid with his death.
The name Dolon is used in various places on this planet, I have seen the greek meaning of this name. But in the whole world, this meaning is not valid for this name. Especially in India and in Indian-Subcontinent the name Dolon has a tradition and tribute. In the Bengali language, Dolon means Shake, Frequency, Glad or Joy of mind. More specifically there is a lot of meanings of this name in the mother language of Indian languages, which is, Sanskrit. There are some Adjectives and others are Nouns. Nouns:- Crushing, Breaking, Causing to burst, Decay, Destruction etc.... Adjectives:- Dispelling, Splitting, Tearing asunder etc.... Now I want to say that every meaning that you think as negative, in actuality that is not. I reality a name how much is negative meaning is that much positive if you can see it's opposite prospectives and if you can see it's needs. At last but not least I want to tell that Dolon is my girlfriend's name, She is just my heart. The Greek meaning of this name frustrated me, which does not describe my girlfriend at least 1% ... So think deeply and connect dots to see the positive meanings hidden. THANK YOU
Dolon is an old man and former knight who wants revenge on Artegall for killing his son. In Book 5, Canto 6 of "The Faerie Queene" he almost kills Britomart instead.
