Dolowitz is a pretty popular Jewish name.

Hi, Just looking on the Ellis Island web site:

http://www.ellisisland.org/search/passSearch.asp

the various spellings of the name give differant results.
Dolovitz 0 hits
Dolowicz 3 hits
Dolowitz 10 hits.
It gives you a number of alternatives to search for.

Another web site:

http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/

which shows the modern day distribution of surnames in Poland, shows the name Dolotov (only picks up five people in Poland with this surname).
This site doesn't have any other similar spellings of this name.

Richard.

There is no one real version, and there’s nothing to be confused about. In the vast east-central European multi-ethnic cauldron that was the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Muscovy, Austria, Bohemia, Germany, etc. many of the same names were used by different ethnic groups and were only spelt differently. In this case it could have been Dolovitch, Dolovich, Dolowitsch, Dołowicz, Долович, Dolovič, Dolovičius, etc. I’m not sure how that would have been in Hungarian and Hebrew.

It might just be a simple matter of a clerk writing the name down incorrectly and he was stuck with it.

Looking through old record books I often see a name spelt different ways when a different person writes it.

My wife had a case in her own family when 2 brothers ended up with different family names because the priest spelt the same name differently.

It should be something like that, I suppose:
Hungarian: Dolovics, Dolovicz
Hebrew: דלבץ
Yiddish: דאלאװיץ

I am not sure if this will help you but my grandfather's name was Jacob Dolovitz.
He was born in Rajgrod, Poland about 1873 and came to the UK at the turn of the century - he was a cabinet maker. His wife's name (my grandmother) was Fega Rifka Cohen.
I was once told that we do have Dolovitz/ Dolowitz relatives in the USA but I have never been able to locate them.
Regards
