Does the above ring a bell ? If so, please tell what it means. I came across it in the lyrics of one song. Looked up in a few dictionaries. No result. PS. I'm a newcomer to this site / board but I find it fascinating.

My only guess is that it's a name.

Heledore Dufaut bought a parcel of land from the Illinois Central Railroad in Beaverville Township in Iroquois County, Illinois, between 1831 and 1882.

I agree that it's a name but don't agree that it's a Polish one. I would know as i'm from here / there (depending on which side of the globe yr looking). PS. Please don't tell me any stupid polish jokes ( No, you wouldn't. It's a joke ) M.

I have never encountered this as a word or name before, but note there seems to be a biblical connection in the root: [Heleb] in the Bible, mighty man. An alternate form is Heled. He may be the captain Heldai in First Chronicles. http://www.bartleby.com/65/he/Heleb.html Heled - this world, (1 Chr. 11:30); called Heleb (2 Sam. 23:29) http://www.ccel.org/e/easton/ebd/ebd/T0001700.html#T0001722 Perhaps this will be a starting point for one of my more biblically inclined brethren or sistren!

Hele is health, dore is the same gift that is present in Theodore, which means gift of God.

Not all were references to the song. What can I tell you? Thank you for clearing that up.
