ArchivesDoes anyone know the meaning of the name Delsa?
It is my sister's name. My parents found it in a book, the author was Swedish, so I think it might be Swedish in origin. I have always wondered if this name has any meaning. Any help would be very much apreciated. Thanks! :)

Looks like a mix of Disa and Elsa
Disa (DEE-sah) is an old Scandinavian name.
Even if the author was Swedish, the name could be of another origin, like Italian (as Delia, Delfina). Or the author could have made it up, to give the heroine a real unique name. Or Delsa could be a nn, for Diana Elisabeth etc.
