Idalia comes from the Greek place name Idalion in Cyprus, where Aphrodite had a famous temple.
Idalia is widely used in Spanish-speaking countries and is rising in the U.S. — currently rare but distinctive.
Idalia does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Idalia reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
