Dalkulla
A kulla knitting, painting by Anders Zorn, 1901.
Kulla (plural kullor[1]) 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.[2][3] In the oldest known source from 1640 is the kulla synonymous with a woman. An older not married woman was called gammkulla while a married woman was called käring.[4] The male word is dalkarl or mas, provided from which part of Dalarna you were from.[5]
