Delfin is an uncommon and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'delphin,' which means dolphin. In ancient Roman culture, Delfin was often associated with speed, grace, and intelligence, attributes that were believed to be shared by these marine mammals.
The name Delfin experienced varying popularity over the years, with peak periods of usage during the late 1940s to early 1970s. Between 1946 and 1975, there were at least one or more births each year, totaling 235 occurrences within this span. The highest number of Delfin births in a single year was recorded in 1969 with 11 births. After the mid-1970s, the name's usage declined, with fewer than five births per year from 1976 to present day (2023), indicating that it is no longer a popular choice for newborns today. Overall, since its first recorded use in 1919 until now, there have been a total of 280 Delfin births.
