Dalilah

Dalilah is a name of Hebrew origin that is derived from the word 'dalal', meaning 'to make thin' or 'to weaken'. It is often interpreted to mean 'delicate' or 'slender'.

The name Dalilah is most famously associated with the biblical figure of Delilah, who is depicted in the Book of Judges as a woman who betrayed her lover, Samson, by cutting his hair and depriving him of his strength.

Despite its biblical associations, the name Dalilah has a beautiful and feminine sound, and it is often chosen for its aesthetic appeal rather than its meaning.

While Dalilah is traditionally a girl's name, it can also be considered gender-neutral, as it does not have a masculine or feminine ending.
