Flower name, from Swedish surname
"Dahl's flower"Dahlia Origin and Meaning
The name Dahlia is a girl's name of Scandinavian origin meaning "Dahl's flower".
One of the flower names, used occasionally in Britain (where it's pronounced DAY-lee-a). It seems to have recovered from what was perceived as a slightly affected la-di-dah air. The flower was named in honor of the pioneering Swedish botanist Andreas Dahl, which means dale.
In the Victorian language of flowers, Dahlia denotes elegance and dignity.
In P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves stories, Dahlia is Bertie Wooster's more sympathetic aunt, described as being constructed along the lines of Mae West. Reporter Dahlia Lithwick covers legal matters for the online magazine Slate.
