Delicate, weak, or languishing
Derived from the Hebrew name Delilah, it most likely stems from the root 'dalal' meaning to hang or languish. In the biblical narrative, she is the woman who discovers the secret of Samson's strength. This specific spelling is a streamlined, rare variant of the more common Delilah.
