History & Origin

Idahlia is a contemporary elaboration of Dahlia, the garden flower named in honour of the Swedish botanist Anders Dahl; his surname itself means 'valley'. The extended spelling is modern and its route uncertain, which we note (said 'ih-DAHL-yuh').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., far behind Dahlia itself. Floral, ornate, and soft.

Did you know? The dahlia was named for Anders Dahl, an eighteenth-century Swedish botanist — so a flower name here quietly carries a scientist's surname. Idahlia adds an opening vowel to the bloom, a modern flourish whose route is uncertain, which we note.
