Delsie is English in Origin.
Delsie is an English pet-form built with the affectionate -sie ending (as in Elsie), attached to Del- names. It often serves as a diminutive of Della (from Germanic Adela, meaning "noble"), Delia (Greek, "of Delos"), or Dulcie/Dulce (Latin dulcis, "sweet"), and it also appears as a respelling of Delcie. As an independent given name, Delsie surfaces in late-19th-century British and American records and saw modest use in the United States through the 1920s before fading.
Variants include Delcie, Delsi, Delsey, Delsea, and Delsy; related forms are Della, Delia, and Dulcie, with nicknames Del and Dels. Because it is a diminutive rather than a single-root name, Delsie's meaning depends on its source - typically "noble" (via Adela) or "sweet" (via Dulcie). Today it reads vintage and homespun, fitting contemporary revivals of antique nicknames while remaining unusual.
