Delina Origin and Meaning

The name Delina is a girl's name.

Delina is a melodious feminine name of multiple possible origins. It may be a variant of Adelina (meaning 'noble' or 'nobility' in Germanic languages) or a derivative of Delia (from Greek, meaning 'from Delos'). In some cultures, it's considered a combination of 'Del' prefixes with the feminine '-ina' suffix. The name has a delicate, flowing quality that feels both familiar and distinctive. While not among the most common names in English-speaking countries, Delina enjoys modest popularity in parts of Eastern Europe and among families seeking a name with a classic feel but relative uniqueness. Its soft consonants and musical rhythm give it an inherently feminine sound, while its relative rarity makes it stand out among more common names with similar sounds.
