Delia

Delia is a feminine name of Greek origin, derived from the name of the island of Delos in the Aegean Sea. The name literally means 'born on the island of Delos'.

In Greek mythology, Delos was the birthplace of the twin gods Apollo and Artemis. Their mother, Leto, was forced to give birth on the island after being denied refuge by other lands due to the jealousy of the goddess Hera.

The name Delia has been in use since ancient times and has maintained a modest level of popularity over the centuries. It carries a sense of classical beauty and mythological significance.

While not as common as some other Greek names, Delia has a pleasant and melodic sound that may appeal to parents seeking a name with a rich historical and cultural background.
