What People Usually Mean by This Name
The one who soothes the heart, who brings the heart peace, from Persian dil (heart) + ara (one who beautifies, who soothes). The compound dil-ara entered Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Mughal Urdu poetry as an epithet for the beloved whose mere presence calms the heart's restlessness, the kind of love that quietens rather than stirs.
The name became prominent in the Ottoman court: Dilara Hatun was a frequent name among the imperial harem of the 17th and 18th centuries. In the Mughal world the same name appears among Persian-speaking Muslim aristocracy from Lahore to Hyderabad. While not Arabic in origin and not appearing in the Quran, the name carries Islamic resonance through the Hadith tradition that the heart is the focal point of the soul's relationship with Allah: 'In the body there is a piece of flesh, when it is sound the whole body is sound; when it is corrupt the whole body is corrupt. Beware, it is the heart' (Bukhari, Muslim).
