Idalis is Spanish in Origin.

Idalis is a modern Spanish/Latin American feminine name, most often viewed as a Caribbean elaboration of Idalia/Idalía. Idalia goes back to Greek Idalia, an epithet of Aphrodite connected to the ancient Cypriot city of Idalion; the stylish -is/-ys ending reflects Caribbean Spanish naming trends.

In given-name use, Idalis appears rarely before the late 20th century and gained wider notice via Puerto Rican-American entertainer Idalis DeLeón in the 1990s, remaining most common within Puerto Rican and Cuban communities and the broader Hispanic diaspora. Variants include Idalys, Idaly, Idaliz, Ydaliz, and the base form Idalia/Idalía; related spellings such as Idalie also occur. Meaning depends on the route chosen: from Idalia, “of Idalion” and by poetic association “beloved of Aphrodite” (sometimes glossed “behold the sun”); as a blend of Ida + Alice, “industrious” + “noble.”
