Delicate or night beauty
Delyla is a modern phonetic spelling of the ancient Hebrew name Delilah. In the Old Testament, Delilah was a woman of the Valley of Sorek who was loved by Samson and eventually betrayed him. The name is often interpreted as meaning 'delicate' or 'languishing', though some etymological roots connect it to the Arabic word for 'night'.
