Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Dalma je maďarské literárne meno, ktoré vytvoril Mihály Vörösmarty pre mužskú postavu v epose Zalán futása (1825). Jeho slovotvorný základ nie je bezpečne objasnený: spája sa s maďarským slovom dal („pieseň“), ale aj s nárečovým slovom dalma („statný, zavalitý“). Ako ženské meno ho prvý použil Péter Vajda v roku 1839; neskôr ho v tejto funkcii uplatnil aj Mór Jókai.
