Ardeliah is English in Origin.

Ardeliah is a rare English feminine given name, most plausibly an elaboration of Ardelia with the fashionable -iah ending. Ardelia appears in 17th–18th‑century England and colonial America - famously the poetic persona of Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea (“Ardelia”). Eighteenth- and nineteenth‑century parish and census records in North America show scattered use; the Ardeliah spelling surfaces in the 19th century and then fades, remaining uncommon today.

Etymology is blended: Ardelia is often linked to Latin ardere/ardens, “to burn; ardent,” yielding an interpretive meaning of “ardent” or “passionate.” Some also connect it to Delia (Greek Dēlia, “of Delos,” an epithet of Artemis) or to Adelia (from Germanic adal, “noble”). Variants and cognates include Ardelia, Ardella, Ardelle, Adelia, Delia, and Delilah (by sound). Short forms are Ardy/Ardie, Delia, and Lia. Overall, Ardeliah suggests warm ardor with a genteel, antique lilt.
