Kulla (plural kullor [1] ) is an older dialectal name for an unmarried woman, used often in most region of Sweden in the vicinity of Dalarna, but in present time mostly used as a term for a woman from Dalarna ("dalkulla"). [2] [3]
In the oldest known source from 1640, kulla is synonymous with "woman." An older, unmarried woman is referred to as gammkulla, while a married woman is referred to as käring. [4]
The male equivalent is dalkarl or mas. [5]
