While the fathers of several "son of" dwarves are named in the epic, I can't recall that a female dwarf was ever referenced by name. Who was the first female dwarf identified by name in the Hobbit/LOTR saga? Is there even one?

Dís, who is Fili and Kili's mother and Thorin's sister, gets a brief mention in the appendices to Lord of the Rings. According to Wikia, she is the only female dwarf Tolkien ever names.
