Meaning & History

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
