Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Etymológia mena Dalina nie je spoľahlivo ustálená. Meno sa môže vykladať ako novodobý útvar odvodený od mien Dalia, Dalena alebo Delina, prípadne ako skrátená podoba mena Adelina germánskeho pôvodu. Možné slovanské spojenie s menami Dalibor a Dalimír zostáva iba hypotetické; základ dal- v týchto menách nemožno bez opory vykladať slovenským slovom diaľka.
