Doles is a surname with several different origins, French, Czech, and Slovenian. 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). Doles is considered by some to be a sept name of the Scottish clan Mackintosh, in this case the name is a variant of the surname Dallas.
