Dallie
Meaning of Dallie
Dallie (pronounced ˈdæli) is an English‐language feminine name that appears to have originated as a diminutive or variant of the floral name Dahlia—itself named in honor of the 18th-century Swedish botanist Anders Dahl. With its gently lilting two-syllable cadence and understated vintage charm, Dallie evokes both botanical elegance and a quietly resilient spirit. Historically, it enjoyed modest popularity in the early 20th century—peaking around rank 399 in 1910—before settling into a low-frequency niche; in recent years, it has hovered near the 900s in the U.S. name rankings, with seventeen newborn girls named Dallie in 2024. This steady, if discreet, usage suggests that Dallie appeals to parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar choice, one that balances a touch of antiquarian appeal with a straightforward, approachable sound.
