What is the meaning of the name Dali ?

The baby name Dali is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DAH-lee (English: /ˈdɑːli/ or /ˈdæli/); da-LEE (Spanish 'Dalí': /daˈli/); Georgian: /dɑli/.

Dali is Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Georgian, Hebrew, Spanish in Origin.

Dali spans several traditions. In Georgia, Dali (დალი) is the name of the radiant mountain goddess who guards wild game; used as a modern given name, it skews feminine and evokes beauty, wilderness, and protection rather than a lexical meaning. In Chinese, Dali is a phonetic rendering for multiple given names whose sense depends on the characters, commonly 大力 “great strength” or 达礼 “attaining propriety”; it is unisex and may appear as Da-li. The form Dalí, with an accent, recalls the Catalan surname of the painter Salvador Dalí, inspiring 20th‑century global usage as an artistic homage.

Dali also functions as a short form of Dalia/Dalya (Hebrew/Arabic: “branch; vine,” and the flower name) and of Slavic names beginning with Dali‑, notably Dalibor (“far, distance” + “battle”). Variants and related forms include Dalí, Dalia, Dalya, Dahlia, Dalibor, Dalimil, Dalija, and Da‑li.
