Meaning:Destroyer of mankind; Man-slayer
Dellanira is a feminine name with Greek and possibly Spanish roots. A variant spelling of the Greek Deianeira, it can translate to “destroyer of mankind” or “man-slayer.” If you love Greek mythology, this name can connect your bundle of joy to Deianeira, the wife of hero Herakles—a.k.a. Hercules—who unintentionally caused his death. If you lean more towards the tragic and macabre legends and want to encourage baby to do the same, Dellanira can make for a memorable choice.
