Rhodelia is Greek, Latin in Origin.
Rhodelia is a rare feminine given name commonly interpreted as an elaboration of Greek Rhoda (Rhōdē), meaning “rose” or “woman from Rhodes,” combined with the Latinate -elia ending; it is also plausibly a blend of Rhoda and Delia (from Greek Dēlia, “of Delos,” an epithet of Artemis). The resulting imagery links roses with Aegean island associations, yielding senses such as “rose-like” or “from Rhodes/Delos.”
The name appears sporadically in English-language records from the late 18th and 19th centuries, fitting the era’s taste for classical and floral embellishments, and it continues to surface occasionally in modern use. In the Philippines, the close variant Rodelia is relatively familiar, with Rhodelia functioning as an alternative spelling. Documented variants and related forms include Rodelia, Rhoda, and Delia, with stylistic cousins such as Cordelia. Short forms and nicknames may include Delia, Lia, and Rho.
Rhodelia is exceptionally rare. There are only 10 recorded uses on record, spread over 7 countries.
