About Delma
Adelma shot to stardom on the coattails of 19th century Eastern European spiritualist Baroness Adelma Vay de Vaya. Delma continued to be used in the US until the 1950s, when it dropped from sight.
Today, both Delma and Adelma are truly extinct baby names in the US, given to zero baby girls.
Pronounced DEL-muh.
As of October 2026, Delma ranked #15771 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #448 in 1907.
