Delthea is in Origin.

Delthea is a modern English given name, likely created by blending the prefix Del- with the Greek-derived -thea (“goddess”). The -thea element is familiar from Thea, Althea (“healer”), and Alethea (“truth”), lending Delthea a classical, feminine finish. The opening Del- is interpretively flexible: it can echo Delta (Greek letter and “river mouth”), Delia (an epithet of Artemis from Delos), or the Germanic Adel- family meaning “noble.” As a result, Delthea is often read as “noble goddess” or simply “goddess,” with nuanced associations of truth or healing by analogy.
