DAUPHINE is the female form of the particular French feudal (comital or princely) title of Dauphin (also anglicized as Dolphin), applied to the wife of a Dauphin (usually in the sense of heir to the French royal throne).
- Also derived from dauphin is the culinary fried potato dish pommes dauphines.
- It should not be confused with the French region Dauphiné (remark the accent aigu on the final é)
