History & Origin

Idali is used chiefly in Spanish-speaking families. Its nearest documented relative is Idalia, which classical writers used as a byname for Aphrodite after Idalion in Cyprus. Idali may be a shortened form of that name or an independent coinage; the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ee-DAH-lee').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, Spanish-flavoured, and light.

Did you know? Idalia, the name Idali stands beside, was a byname of Aphrodite — taken from Idalion, a Cypriot town where she was worshipped. Whether Idali carries that history or is simply a shorter modern form is not documented, and we say so.
