Dilworth is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is derived from Old English words 'dyll', meaning 'valley', and 'worth', which translates to 'enclosure'. This gives Dilworth a literal interpretation as "valley enclosure", suggesting perhaps a location with scenic valley views surrounded by protective boundaries. The name Dilworth was once popular among the Puritans in England during the 16th century but has since become quite rare, making it an interesting and unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"The name Dilworth was born to five children in 1943."
