What is the meaning of the name Daler ?

Daler is Persian in Origin.

Daler is a Persianate masculine given name signifying “brave,” “valiant,” or “bold‑hearted.” It reflects the Persian adjective dalir/delir (دلیر), related to del “heart,” and is used across Farsi, Dari, and especially Tajik (Cyrillic Далер). Kurdish Delêr and South Asian Urdu/Hindi diler (दिलेर/دلیر) also belong to the same family of words conveying courage.

In premodern Persian poetry and chronicles, dalir and its compounds praised warriors and steadfast rulers; through the Persianate courts and later Urdu literature, the name spread into Central and South Asia. Today Daler is widely used in Tajikistan and recognizable from the Indian subcontinent to Iran and the diaspora. Variant forms and spellings include Daler, Diler, Dalir, Delir, and Delêr; related cognates are Dilawar/Delavar (دلاور “hero, champion”). The name is strongly masculine in usage, though the quality it denotes - undaunted courage - reads as universal.
