Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Dalila je slovenskou podobou biblického hebrejského mena Dəlīlāh (דְּלִילָה). Najčastejšie sa spája s hebrejským koreňom d-l-l, ktorý vyjadruje slabnutie, ochabovanie či klesanie; meno sa preto tradične vykladá ako „slabá“, „útla“ alebo „chradnúca“. Presný význam však nie je úplne istý a uvádzajú sa aj súvislosti s visiacimi či rozpustenými vlasmi.
