Delia is a feminine given name , either taken from an epithet of the Greek moon goddess Artemis , or else representing a short form of Adelia Bedelia Cordelia or Odelia [1]
Meanings and origins
[ edit ]
According to records for the 1901 Irish census , there were 6,260 persons named Delia living that year in all 32 counties of Ireland , with 256 more bearing the full forename Bedelia (plus 59 other persons with the variant spelling Bidelia , and 361 Biddy , 529 Bride and 153984 Bridget ). These related names originated as English renderings of the Irish name Brighid (or Bríd ) meaning "exalted one", which originally belonged to a pagan fertility goddess (later, to an important medieval saint ).
Lawrence Alma-Tadema , Tibullus at Delia's
In most cases, however, the name Delia refers to the tiny Greek island of Delos (Ancient Greek : Δῆλος birthplace of Artemis and her twin brother Apollo , given because they were born on the island of Delos. The name was used by Roman poet Tibullus as the pseudonym of his lover Plania in very popular love poems[2]
