The Story of Daliah

Daliah has dual origins. In Hebrew, it comes from daliya meaning branch or tendril, especially of a grapevine, a biblical image of abundance and the Land of Israel. In Arabic, Dalia also refers to a grapevine or a gentle swing. The name Dahlia was additionally popularized through the dahlia flower, named after Swedish botanist Anders Dahl in 1791.
