Delys is Welsh in Origin.
Delys is a modern feminine given name with strong French coloration. It is commonly explained in two ways: as a fusion of de + lys, “of the lily,” referencing the fleur-de-lys emblem, and as a spelling related to French délice, “delight, pleasure,” the root of Delice/Delicia. English usage yields pronunciations DEE-liss and de-LEES, both encountered.
Sporadic use is documented from the early to mid-20th century in English-speaking countries - especially Australia and New Zealand - when streamlined, Francophile coinages were fashionable. The name remains uncommon, lending it a light, tailored feel. Variants and relatives include DeLys, Dellys, Delyse, Delise, Delice, Delicia, and Delis; surname-like forms such as De Lys also appear. Taken together, Delys carries layered meanings: purity and nobility from the lily symbol, and sweetness or joy from délice - an appealing blend of elegance and brightness.
