Dalia is Arabic, English, Hebrew, Lithuanian in Origin.

Dalia is a cross-cultural feminine name with Hebrew, Arabic, and Lithuanian roots. In Hebrew (דַלְיָה) dalyáh means “branch” or “bough,” evoking growth. In Arabic (دالية) dāliyah denotes a “vine/grapevine” and, by extension, a water‑drawing device, symbols of sustenance. In Lithuanian, Dalia derives from the Baltic root for “fate” or “share” and names the goddess of destiny.

As a given name it appears across the Middle East and Israel, in Lithuania (notably borne by President Dalia Grybauskaitė), and gained wider international currency in the twentieth century through the dahlia flower, named for Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; this yields the variant Dahlia. Other forms and spellings include Dalya, Daliya, Dália, and Dalija. Diminutives include Dali and Lia. The name blends images of branches, vines, and allotted destiny.
