What Does the Name Idahlia Mean?
Idahlia is an English spelling variant of Idalia, a feminine name derived from the Greek place name Idalium (Greek Ἰδάλιον, Latin Idalium), an ancient city in Cyprus. The name means "from Idalium" or "of Idalium." The h in Idahlia is an English spelling feature; it does not appear in the Greek or Latin forms.
The place name itself is not explained by ordinary Greek vocabulary, and its deeper origin is uncertain. In Greek myth, Aphrodite was called Idalia after Idalium, so the name also carries a mythological association with the goddess; that association is not a separate literal meaning.
Idahlia Name History & Origins
Idalium was an ancient city in central Cyprus, near modern Dali, and Aphrodite was worshipped there under the epithet Idalia. Latin poetry used Idalius and Idalia for the goddess and for things connected with her, and English writers later borrowed the adjective Idalian from Latin.
Idalia became a feminine given name in English and other European languages. The spelling Idahlia is a variant with an internal h after the a; that letter is not part of the classical forms. Ouida's novel Idalia (1867) is a later literary use of the name, not its source.
