Dalkulla
Kulla is an older dialectal name for an unmarried woman, used often in most parts of Sweden around Dalarna, but in present time mostly used as a name for women from Dalarna namely Dalkulla.[1][2] In the oldest known source from 1640 is the kulla synonmous with a woman. An older not married woman was called gammkulla while a married woman was called käring.[3] The male word is dalkarl or mas, provided from which part of Dalarna you were from.[4]
