Name
The name implies several linguistic possibilities stemming from Portuguese to Spanish.
Tia is Portuguese for the word, "Aunt". Dalma could be a reference to the colloquial Caribbean Spanish "DEL MAR". Dalma could also be a reference to the Spanish phrase "de Alma", or the Portuguese phrase "da alma" which means "of the soul".
Alternatively, it could be an anagram for Dalmatia, a region whose coast was a haven for pirates when it was known as the Roman province of Illyricum.
