Delmas
Delmas Origin and Meaning
Delmas is a masculine name with French origins, functioning primarily as a surname before occasionally transitioning to first-name use. It derives from place names in southern France, particularly in regions where Occitan was spoken, and means 'from the farm' or 'of the farmstead,' combining 'del' (from the) and 'mas' (farmhouse or rural dwelling). The name carries a rustic yet dignified quality, evoking the French countryside and agricultural heritage. While relatively uncommon as a given name, Delmas has seen modest use particularly in French-speaking regions and the southern United States. Its distinctive sound and continental European flavor make it appealing for parents seeking something unique with authentic linguistic roots and a subtle sophistication.
