What is the meaning of the name Dalma ?

The baby name Dalma is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdɑːlmə/ (DAHL-mə); Hungarian: /ˈdɒlmɒ/ (DOL-mah).

Dalma is Hungarian in Origin.

Dalma is a modern Hungarian feminine given name, generally treated as a 19th-century literary coinage, often attributed to the poet Mihály Vörösmarty. Its meaning is uncertain; many Hungarians connect it to the native word dal, "song," yielding an evocative sense of "melody" or "singer," though this is a folk etymology rather than a proven derivation.

The name entered wider use in Hungary in the late 19th and 20th centuries and remains familiar there today, while staying rare elsewhere. International visibility increased through Argentine actress Dalma Maradona, which helped the name surface sporadically in Spanish-speaking countries. Established variants are few: Hungarian hypocoristics include Dalmi, and a stylized spelling Dálma sometimes appears, but Dalma is standard; no traditional masculine counterpart exists. Similar-looking names such as Dalia or the Portuguese male Djalma are unrelated.
