What is the meaning of the name Delfina ?

The baby name Delfina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Spanish/Italian: /delˈfina/ (del-FEE-nah); English: /dɛlˈfiːnə/ (del-FEEN-uh).

Delfina is Latin in Origin.

Delfina is the Romance and Slavic feminine form linked to Latin Delphina and French Delphine, ultimately from Greek delphis (dolphin) and the toponym Delphoi (Delphi), home of Apollo’s oracle. The name may mean dolphin or woman of Delphi, evoking guidance, intelligence, and seafaring protection. Medieval Latin delphinus/delphina entered baptismal use and surnames, providing the root for later European given-name traditions.

Recorded in Italy, Iberia, and Poland since the Middle Ages, Delfina drew prestige from the cult of Sainte Delphine of Glandèves and saw 19th‑century revivals. It remains familiar in Southern Europe and Latin America, especially Argentina and Uruguay. Variants and cognates: Delphine (French, also English), Delphina (Latinized/English), Delfine (German), and Delfin/Delfino (masculine Spanish/Italian/Portuguese). Common short forms include Fina and Delfi.
