What is the meaning of the name Deltah ?

Deltah is English in Origin.

Deltah is a modern English given name, an embellished form of Delta with a terminal -h. Delta is the Greek name of the alphabet’s fourth letter (Δ/δ), itself borrowed from the Phoenician/Hebrew dalet ‘door, gate.’ By extension, delta came to denote the triangular landform at a river’s mouth; in science and mathematics, the delta symbol often marks change or difference. These layered associations - gateway, confluence, transformation - shape the name’s contemporary meaning.

Used sparingly as a given name since the late 19th century in the Anglophone world (most often as Delta), it remains rare in any spelling. The -h version, Deltah, is a creative modern variant, echoing spellings like Norah or Sarah that add a final h. Noted bearers of the root form include actress Delta Burke and singer Delta Goodrem. Related forms and nicknames include Delta, Deltha, Del, and Della.
