The name is originally from [[Greek]] δελφίς (''delphís''), "dolphin", which was related to the Greek δελφύς (''delphus''), "[[womb]]". The animal's name can therefore be [[interpreted]] as meaning "a 'fish' with a womb". The name was transmitted via the [[Latin]] ''delphinus'' (the romanization of the later Greek δελφῖνος – ''delphinos''), which in Medieval Latin became ''dolfinus'' and in Old French ''daulphin'', which reintroduced the ph into the [[word]]. The term ''mereswine'' (that is, "sea pig") has also historically been used.
