Origin and meaning of Delia
Delia comes from the Greek Dēlía, 'from Delos,' an epithet of the goddess Artemis, born according to myth on the island of Delos. Also used in poetry as an ideal name for a beloved woman, it is common above all in Italy, Spain and Romania. With a short, crystalline sound, it has a classic, faintly archaic charm that is winning hearts again today. Elegant and delicate, it evokes the light of Greek myth and an aura of serene grace.
