Dahlya
Dahlya Origin and Meaning
Dahlya is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Dahlia, which derives from the flower named after Swedish botanist Anders Dahl. The alternative spelling with a 'y' gives the name a more distinctive, personalized touch while maintaining its floral association. The dahlia flower symbolizes elegance, inner strength, and dignity, lending these qualities to the name. Dahlya remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking something recognizable yet unique. The name carries a soft, melodic sound with its flowing syllables and gentle ending. In recent years, botanical names have gained popularity, though this particular spelling variant remains less common than the traditional Dahlia, giving it an air of individuality and modern charm.
