What is the meaning of the name Delithah ?

Delithah is English in Origin.

Delithah is a modern, ornamental spelling of the biblical name Delilah, adapted to suggest an archaic, th-suffixed cadence while keeping the same Hebrew roots. Delilah derives from the Semitic root d-l-l, interpreted as “to weaken,” “to languish,” or “delicate,” and is borne by the famed figure in the Book of Judges associated with Samson. The -thah ending echoes the look of several Hebraic names ending in -ah, giving Delithah a distinctive yet familiar profile.

In usage, Delithah is rare and largely confined to contemporary Anglophone naming, paralleling the late-20th- and early-21st-century rise of Delilah. Related forms include Delilah, Delila, Dalila (Romance languages), and Dalilah (Arabic-influenced), with near-variant Delitha also seen on occasion. Nicknames and short forms span Della, Del, Dee, and Lila. The overarching meaning carried by Delithah aligns with Delilah: “delicate; languishing; to weaken.”
