For anyone still wondering, Dehli is literally dehliz or gateway because Dehli served as the gateway to the rest of Bharata for (you guessed it) “peaceful” invaders.
And Delhi is simply how the gora sahibs and their spiritual successors, the brown goras and (in modern idiom) the burger kiddos spelt it.

So wholeheartedly welcome the restoration of the original name and true identity of the city.
