Meaning & origin
Dalis is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1993. It never entered the top 1,000 rankings, and its peak usage came in 2013, after which its trajectory has been falling through 2025. The name has no recorded top states, indicating very limited geographic concentration. Without a clear etymology or notable bearers, Dalis remains a niche choice, likely chosen for its simple, melodic sound. Its similarity to Dallas or Alice may appeal to parents seeking a familiar yet distinctive option.
Dalis appears to be a modern, invented name, possibly a variant of the surname Dallas or a feminine form of Dale. Its usage in the United States began in the 1990s, and it has never reached widespread popularity. The name may also be influenced by similar-sounding names like Alis or Alice.
