Delphus is an uncommon given name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'delphis', meaning dolphin. It is a unisex name, though it has been used more frequently for males in recent times. The name Delphus was introduced to English-speaking countries by early settlers who were influenced by classical mythology and literature. In Greek mythology, Delphus is associated with Delphi, the ancient sanctuary dedicated to the god Apollo. This association gives the name a mystical and historical significance. As of now, it remains quite rare, offering a unique identity for those who bear this name.
"From 1934 to 1940, the name Delphus saw a total of 17 births, with peaks of six babies each born in 1934 and 1939."
