Delcid
A surname of Spanish-language appearance, likely built from a place-name or a descriptive nickname rather than an English occupational root.
The #5,827 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 52,039 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Delcid looks Spanish in form, with the prefix del meaning “of the” or “from the.” The second element, cid, may point to a place-name, a nickname, or a local family designation, but there is no single well-established etymology for the surname as used today. In practice, it is safest to treat Delcid as a Spanish-language surname of uncertain exact origin, probably tied to regional naming traditions in the Hispanic world.
History
The surname is most likely from the Spanish-speaking world and is found today especially in the Americas, where many surnames spread through migration from Spain and later intra-American movement. In U.S. records it is uncommon but clearly established, with modern concentration likely reflecting Latin American immigration and family growth rather than an old Anglo-American line. Because the name is relatively rare, published surname dictionaries do not seem to have settled on a single standard derivation.

Fun fact
The spelling Del Cid can make the name look related to El Cid, the famous medieval Castilian hero, but that connection is not certain and should not be assumed without family evidence.
