Dalailah
Meaning of Dalailah
Dalailah is a unique and melodious name for girls, often seen as a variant of the more commonly known Delilah. The name is of Hebrew origin, derived from "Delilah" which appears in the Old Testament as the enigmatic figure who beguiles Samson. In Hebrew, Delilah means "delicate" or "weak," reflecting perhaps not just physical delicacy but also an intricate subtlety of character. Pronounced either as dah-LAY-luh (/dəˈleɪlə/) or dah-LAH-ee-lah (/dɑˈlaɪ.lɑ/) in English, Dalailah offers a slightly exotic twist on its traditional counterpart. Although not very common, with only 5 newborns named Dalailah in 2023 ranking it at 15121 in the United States, it remains a beautiful choice for parents seeking a name that balances uniqueness with historical depth.
