Meaning & Origin

Dahlya is a girl's baby name of Swedish origin, a variant spelling of Dahlia, the flowering plant named after Swedish botanist Anders Dahl (1751–1789). Dahlias bloom in an extraordinary range of colors from late summer through frost, and have become symbols of dignity, elegance, and creative commitment.

Dahlya carries the complex beauty of its flower namesake — a name for a child who will unfold gradually, revealing more layers than anyone expected, whose full beauty takes time and patience to appreciate.
