The prefix O indicates descendant of, while Dubhshlaine is a personal name derived from the elements dubh, meaning black, and slan, meaning challenge or defiance. The O'Dubhshlaine sept was one of the ancient septs of the province of Connacht, and they were a branch of the larger O'Flaherty clan.

In more recent history, many Irish emigrants took the surname Delap with them to other countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In these countries, the name has continued to be used and passed down through generations.
Overall, the history of the Delap surname is deeply rooted in Irish history and is associated with the ancient Gaelic culture of Ireland. Today, individuals with the surname Delap can trace their ancestry back to the O'Dubhshlaine sept of County Galway and the wider Gaelic Irish tradition.
