History & Origin

Daliah is a spelling of Dalia, the Hebrew word for a hanging branch or tendril — a modern Israeli favorite — that also gestures toward the dahlia, the Mexican flower named for botanist Anders Dahl. An Arabic Dalia ('grapevine') runs parallel, making the sound at home across the Middle East.

Israeli actress and singer Daliah Lavi carried this exact spelling through 1960s international cinema. In the U.S. it remains rare, with Dalia and Dahlia the more common sisters.

Did you know? The dahlia — Daliah's floral double — is Mexico's national flower, named for Swedish botanist Anders Dahl and bred into more shapes than nearly any garden plant.
