Answer 2

. If you mean "deli," this is short for delicatessen -- a German word meaning fine foods. Delicatessens are kind of like bodegas+fast food places, serving sandwiches, hot dogs, and the like. The word "deli" also refers to the kind of food served at these places -- preserved meats, etc.

If you mean Delhi, the city ...

Delhi was once the Capital city of a certain King Dhilu. Dhilu was a fairly unremarkable king, as were most of the others who ruled Delhi in the early part of the Indian Middle Ages. The only importance Dhilu has is giving Delhi its name.
