Dehlia Origin and Meaning

The name Dehlia is a girl's name.

Dehlia is a feminine name likely derived from the Greek word "delos" meaning "visible" or "clear." It may also be a variant spelling of Delia, which has classical origins and was used as an epithet for the Greek goddess Artemis, who was born on the island of Delos. Another possible source is the dahlia flower, named after Swedish botanist Anders Dahl. Dehlia offers a slightly unique spelling compared to the more common Delia, giving it a distinctive quality while maintaining familiar pronunciation. The name has never been extremely popular but has an elegant, somewhat exotic feel that appeals to parents seeking something both classic and uncommon for their daughters.
