Rhodelyah is in Origin.

Rhodelyah is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly a blended formation. The opening element Rhod- evokes Greek rhódon “rose” and the island name Rhodes, familiar from Rhoda and Rhode; the closing -yah mirrors the Hebrew theophoric suffix referring to Yah(weh). Together it is often read symbolically as “rose of God” or “rose belonging to Yah,” though precise etymology depends on the coiner. The central -el/-del- also recalls Delia (from Delos) and the popular -liyah/-liah endings in contemporary names.

Documented only rarely before the 2000s, Rhodelyah circulates in modern English-language naming, with spellings such as Rhodelia, Rhodelya, Rodeliah, and Rodelya. Related roots link it to Rhoda, Rhode, Delia, Elia, and Aliyah. Short forms include Rhody, Delia, Dely, and Lia. Its rarity lends it an ornate, lyrical profile while keeping ties to classical Greek and Hebrew name traditions.
