From Illyrian *Doukliā, from *dōkl- (“hiding place, shelter”), from Proto-Indo-European *dhoukl- (“dark, hidden, hiding place”). This is ultimately derived from the root *dheu- (“to whirl, to smoke”), extended with the formans *-k-. The name likely refers to the city's secluded location, geographically "hidden" by deep river canyons and surrounding mountains. Cognates include Sanskrit सन्धुक्षते (sam-dhukṣatē, “fans, ignites, enlivens”), Lithuanian dvėkti (“to breathe, gasp”), Old High German tougan (“dark, hidden”), and Latvian dūkans (“dark-colored”).
