Delyah Origin and Meaning

The name Delyah is a girl's name.

Delyah is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Delilah, which has Hebrew origins meaning "delicate" or "languishing." The altered spelling gives this traditional biblical name a contemporary twist while maintaining its melodious sound. Delyah has the same lyrical quality as Delilah but with a unique written form that distinguishes it. While the traditional spelling Delilah has experienced a significant rise in popularity in recent years, Delyah remains uncommon, offering parents a way to reference the classical name while giving their daughter something more distinctive. The name's soft consonants and flowing vowels create a gentle, feminine impression.
