Dalia is a common feminine name in Arabic (Arabic: داÙÙØ§) and Hebrew (Hebrew: ×Ö·Ö¼×Ö°×Ö¸×). The name in Arabic stems from the word for grape vine and in Hebrew from word for [tip of a ] branch, especially that of a grapevine or an olive tree. There are several biblical and Talmudic references. However, confusion arose among Hebrew speakers due to the similarity to the name of the flower Dahlia.
