Origin of my last name?

Question:

Origin of my last name?

My last name is Dolmus and very uncommon. I've searched for it in ancestry.com and other sites but the people that have it are German or Dutch and maybe Hungarian but it is a Turkish word and I'm Hispanic so that confuses me. Can anybody help me figure out the origin?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Dolmus might be a variation in spelling of an altogether different name, such as Dalmas, which is a more common name. It happens *often* that the original family name is spelled in several different ways.
