What is the meaning of the name Dallal ?

The baby name Dallal is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /daˈlaːl/ (dah-LAHL).

Dallal is Arabic in Origin.

Dallal is an Arabic given name from Dalāl (دلال), denoting charm, coquettish grace, and the pampered endearment shown by a beloved. The double‑L reflects the geminate consonant in Arabic; common variants are Dalal and Dalaal. A regional cognate appears in Kurdish (Kurmanji) as Delal, meaning “beloved/beautiful,” which sometimes informs cross‑border spellings.

Attested across the Levant, the Gulf, and North Africa since medieval times, the term dalāl features in classical Arabic love poetry and later song, which helped cement the name’s appeal. Dallal/Dalal also serves as a surname among Arab and Sephardi families, from Arabic dallāl “broker, auction crier,” though the given name derives from the abstract noun. Related forms and spellings include Dalal, Dalaal, Dalāl, and Delal. Usage today is predominantly feminine.
