Delia 1

Delia is definitely not a traditional Polish name, but it has had some usage. As of January this year, there have been 66 women in Poland with the first name Delia, and 27 with this name as their middle. Additionally names like Adelia and Kordelia have been used as well, so Delia might be used as a nickname for them too, although I have a feeling that probably other nicknames are more common for these names. Delia could celebrate her name day together with Adelaide (February 5, December 12 and 16), Adela (November 23), Adelina (August 28), or Kordelia (October 22). It was not used for babies last year, but I see Adela and Adelaide getting more attention among parents, and names like Amelia, Kornelia or Aurelia are well-liked, so Delia might become more popular as it is also easy to pronounce in Polish.

A shortened version / nickname for Cordelia.
