Baby Names Similar to Delphia

If you like the sound of the baby name Delphia but are looking for something slightly different, then you have a surprising number of name options at your disposal. In addition to going with "Delfina," which is the Latin inspiration for Delphia, here are some other popular and pretty alternatives.

Daphne

Like Delphia, the name Daphne has Latin roots. The name is perhaps best known as belonging to a nymph in Greek mythology. Apollo was so smitten with Daphne that she ultimately had to transform into a plant to escape his amorous pursuits.

Adele

Adele is a much newer name than Delphia. It is commonly used in France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy. The name supposedly means both noble and kind, which is likely why it was given to so many members of the French aristocracy.

Delia

The name Delia has Greek origins. It was originally used to designate that a woman was from the island of Delos. Not surprisingly, a number of cities also share the name. A number of different famous women have had this name, from successful actresses and singers to a titled, female boxer.

Delphinea

Delphinea is derived from the same root word as Delphia, the Latin word for dolphin, but these days delphinea is more often associated with a specific genus of flowers. Because of their long and slender flowered stems, delphinea are in fact named after dolphins.

If you like Delphia but the name is just not quite right for your baby, then consider the similar alternatives like Delphinea, Delia, Adele or Daphne.
