The Delphi programming language was named after the Oracle of Delphi, the common name for the Pythia, the priestess of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi in Greece. The Oracle database was a popular DBMS and, given that Delphi is based upon the Pascal programming language which focuses on database development, this tied in nicely with the phrase; "If you want to talk to the Oracle, go to Delphi."
