Delilah comes from the Hebrew Delīlāh (דְּלִילָה), meaning "delicate," "languishing," or — by folk etymology — "she who weakens." In the Book of Judges, Delilah is the Philistine woman who betrayed Samson by cutting his hair.
Despite the biblical association, Delilah has been used as a girl's name for centuries, particularly in the African American community. Today it sits in the U.S. top 100 — having surged in the 2020s as part of the broader return of biblical names.
Delilah reduces to three — the number of soft expression.
