What Does the Name Idalie Mean?
Idalie is a French feminine form of Idalia, a name derived from the Greek Idalia (Ἰδαλία), meaning "from Idalium" or "of Idalium." The root is the place name Idalium (Ἰδάλιον), an ancient town on Cyprus. In classical use, Idalia was an epithet of Aphrodite, linking the goddess with that place; the literal sense of the name is geographic, while the connection with Aphrodite is a mythological association rather than a separate etymology. The similar name of Mount Ida belongs to a different place and does not explain Idalie.
Idalie Name History & Origins
Idalium was a Cypriot town with a sanctuary of Aphrodite. Greek and Latin poets used Idalia as a poetic epithet for the goddess, and the name passed into later European naming as a learned classical name. The French-style form Idalie uses the ending -ie, corresponding to Latin -ia, as in Marie from Maria. It is a variant of Idalia rather than an independent coinage.
