Delicate, gentle, or languishing
Dalila is a variant of the Hebrew name Delilah, often associated with the Arabic word for 'gentle' or 'coquettish'. While its biblical counterpart is famous for the story of Samson, this specific spelling is widely used in Italian, Spanish, and French-speaking cultures. It offers a softer, more international alternative to the popular English version.
