Dulari is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Dulari is a feminine given name across North Indian and Indo-Caribbean communities, from Hindi-Urdu दुलारी/دلاری, meaning beloved or cherished, derived from dular, affection or fond pampering. Common in Hindi, Urdu, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, and Maithili, it serves both as a term of endearment and a formal personal name. It also occurs in Pakistani and Bangladeshi Urdu-speaking families.
Used within families to address a treasured daughter, it became a standalone given name in the late 19th-20th centuries, appearing in folk songs and popular cinema (for example, the Hindi film Dulari, 1949). Bearers include Dulari Devi, a noted Madhubani painter. Variants and related forms include Dulaari (transliteration), Dularie/Doolarie (Indo-Caribbean), and the masculine counterpart Dulara/Dulare. The name’s sense centers on affectionate love, suggesting a child who is precious and tenderly cared for.
Dulari is far from common. In all, it turns up just 64 times, across 16 countries.
