Quote from: "Dragon"
...in the male definition it states Delphi is a ancient city on the slopes of Mount Parnassus in Greece. So I would say Delphi has both gender properties. but then again all baby name books and name meanings vary. And they do have Delphine listed under Greek female name, but not in the male section.. who knows.

Delphi, the ancient greek city known for it's oracle, is in plural form (written Delfoi in greek). Since plural form for both male and female in greek is the same, we can't be sure if it derives from male or female. It has nothing to do, however, with the aquatic mammal, the dolphin, which is Delfini in greek and is neither male nor female. Now, if I had paid a little more attention to the Ancient Greek we're taught in High School, I might have known a bit more. I'm still struggling with the use of Modern Greek though!
