The Delphis

The name is originally from Ancient Greek (delphís; "dolphin"), which was related to the Greek (delphys; "womb"). The animal's name can therefore be interpreted as meaning "a 'fish' with a womb". The name was transmitted via the Latin delphinus, Middle Latin dolfinus and the Old French daulphin, which reintroduced the ph into the word.
