The name has not been associated with any top states, reflecting its rare usage across the country.
Idali emerged in the United States in the early 1990s, first recorded in 1991. It may be a modern coinage influenced by the name Idalia (from Greek 'eidos' meaning 'to see' and 'helios' meaning 'sun') or a creative respelling of Idalie. Its usage remains rare but consistent.
