**Doles** is a surname with several different origins, [French](/source/France), [Czech](/source/Czech_Republic), and [Slovenian](/source/Slovenia). As a name of French origin, it may be a habitational name derived from Dole in the Jura. As a name of Czech origin, the name is a variant of *Dolejš* meaning "lower". This was used to differentiate the bearers of the same personal name (example: for a man living in the lower part of the village, as opposed to another man in the higher part).[1] *Doles* is considered by some to be a [sept](/source/Sept_(social)) name of the [Scottish clan](/source/Scottish_clan) [Mackintosh](/source/Clan_Mackintosh),[2] in this case the name is a variant of the surname *[Dallas](/source/Dallas_(name))*.
