Delbra is a unique and distinctive given name of Hebrew origin. The name derives from the Hebrew word "d'vorah," which means "bee." This attribution likely stems from the fact that Delbra was the name of one of King David's wives, who was known for her industriousness and productivity, much like a bee. The name has been popular among Jewish communities throughout history but has also gained recognition beyond these circles due to its appealing sound and unique nature. While not widely used, it remains an interesting choice for parents looking for a distinctive and meaningful name for their child.
The name Delbra has seen varying popularity in the United States over a span of nearly two decades, from 1948 to 1966. The name first appeared in the top 1000 baby names list in 1948 with only 6 births recorded that year. However, its popularity grew rapidly in the following years, peaking at 35 births in 1952 and remaining relatively stable until 1957, with an average of around 30 births per year during this period.
After 1957, the popularity of the name Delbra began to decline. Between 1958 and 1960, there was a significant drop in its usage, with only 16, 8, and 10 births recorded respectively. This trend continued until 1966, when the name fell out of the top 1000 baby names list entirely, with only 5 births recorded that year.
Overall, from 1948 to 1966, there were a total of 337 babies named Delbra born in the United States. Despite its fluctuating popularity, this unique name continues to be used today, though it remains relatively rare compared to more popular names.
