Delynah is English in Origin.

Delynah is a modern English elaboration and creative respelling of Delina/Delena, names that themselves sit at the crossroads of several traditions. As a diminutive of Adelina (cognate of Adeline, from Germanic Adalheidis), it carries the meaning noble. In parallel, it can be read as a variant of Delia, the Greek epithet meaning of Delos, or as an echo of the Hebrew Delilah, often interpreted as delicate. The -ynah ending aligns it with contemporary rhythmic forms like Alannah or Shoshana.

While Delina and Delena appear sporadically in 18th-19th-century records in Britain and the United States, the spelling Delynah surfaces in late-20th and early-21st-century usage and remains rare, seldom charting in national statistics. Close variants include Delina, Delyna, Delena, Dalina, and Delinah; related names are Adelina, Delia, and Delilah. Nicknames span Della, Del, Lina, and Lena.
