Delilah✳

Delilah is a name with Hebrew roots traditionally interpreted as delicate, with other renderings involving weakness. Its best-known biblical association is the story of Samson and Delilah, which may be an important consideration for families choosing the name.

The three-syllable English pronunciation has a long middle vowel. Parents can weigh that melodic sound alongside the name's literary and religious associations rather than choosing on the meaning alone.
