Delphine

Delphine is a feminine Francophone given name, a form of the Latin Delphina, meaning woman from Delphi, the “Navel of the Earth” or “Womb of Gaia”, home of the Pythia, high priestess and oracle of the Temple of Apollo, the then most prestigious and authoritative oracle for the Ancient Greeks, and among the most powerful women of the classical world from 7th century BC until the late 4th century AD. Thus “Delphine” also means originally “who or which pertains to the oracle” i.e. provider of insight, wise counsel or prophetic predictions.
