History & Origin
Delno is a coined boy's name of the early twentieth century, most plausibly a clipped cousin of Delano, a surname from a French and Dutch phrase meaning of the night wood. It fits the era's fondness for short, punchy Del- names.
It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its high around the mid nineteen-twenties, and it faded by mid-century. A boy named Delno then would belong to a great-grandfather's generation today.
