Archivesdolce, kidwell
Does any one know what origin Dolce and Kidwell are and they mean? One is my mom's last name and one is my step-dad's. My mom said that Dolce is pronounced dol-chey and its an italian name.

Yes Dolce and Dolci means "sweet". Dolce is more typical of southern Italy.

Kidwell looks like an English place-name, but I can't find one. There is a Welsh place-name, Kidwelly, but surnames from Welsh place-names are not all that common. Kidwelly means "Cadwal's land", Cadwal being a man's name. Which raises the question - if Cadwal's land is englished as Kidwelly, might not the forename Cadwal be englished as Kidwell? Cad, the first component of this name means "battle"; I don't know the meaning of the -wal component.
