Dahlia is in Origin.
Dahlia is a modern floral given name taken from the showy bloom native to Mexico and Central America. The flower’s genus, Dahlia, was coined in 1791 by the Spanish botanist Antonio Jose Cavanilles to honor Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; Dahl ultimately relates to a Scandinavian word for “valley.” As a personal name, Dahlia carries the botanical sense “dahlia flower” and, by extension, echoes symbolism of elegance, dignity, creativity, and resilience.
It entered English use in the 19th century alongside Rose, Violet, and Lily, and has enjoyed a notable revival in recent decades. International variants include Dalia (Spanish, Italian, Lithuanian, and also an independent Arabic/Hebrew name with different roots), Dalya, and the rare elaboration Dahliah; German uses Dahlie for the flower. Nicknames range from Lia and Lee to Dolly and Dali; related surnames/forms include Dahl and Dahlin.
