DEHL-fee

Greek place name

"of Delphi; womb"

Delphi Origin and Meaning

The name Delphi is a girl's name meaning "of Delphi; womb".

An interesting unisex possibility, with an air of mystery connected to the Delphic Oracle, the most important oracle in ancient Greece; it was also a major site for the worship of the god Apollo.

While the ancient city of Delphi likely derived from Greek delphys meaning "womb", as a name. Delphi could also link to the Greek delphínion meaning "dolphin", and therefore to the flower genus, delphinium, giving it two separate nature connections.

Also used as a short form for Delphine and Delphia, the name appears in the stage play, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child and is borne by Lady Delphi Primrose, a Scottish model and influencer.
