Dahliah is Arabic in Origin.

Dahliah is a modern embellished spelling of Dahlia, the floral name derived from the dahlia plant, itself named for Swedish botanist Anders Dahl (whose surname comes from Swedish dal, "valley"). As a botanical given name, it carries the flower’s associations with dignity, elegance, and enduring commitment in Victorian floriography, as well as themes of creativity and inner strength. The form also overlaps with international variants like Dalia, which in Hebrew can mean "branch/bough," in Arabic "vineyard/trellis," and in Lithuanian "fate," though Dahliah typically signals the flower-based English usage.

Used in English-speaking countries since the late 19th century amid the vogue for nature names, the name saw fresh revival in the 21st century. Dahliah remains uncommon compared with Dahlia. Related forms and spellings include Dahlia, Dália, Dahliya, and the pan-cultural Dalia/Daliya/Dalya; diminutives such as Lia, Liah, or Dolly are occasionally used.
