Delta, is so named because it was mostly formed by silt deposited by the Fraser River, thus it is a large river delta not unlike the deltas of the Nile, Amazon and Mississippi.
The British Empire gave the name to British Columbia, back when it was a colony of theirs. They wanted to name the colony after the Columbia river, but were afraid if they just called it 'Columbia', people would confuse it with Colombia, which is in South America. So, they put 'British' in front of it.
The name British Columbia was chosen by Queen Victoria in 1858. In 1871, it became the sixth province of Canada.

Delta, British Columbia, got its name due to its geographic location at the confluence of the Fraser River and its distributaries, which create a delta-like formation. The name reflects the area's unique landscape, characterized by its rich alluvial soils and wetlands. Established as a municipality in 1879, Delta has since grown into a significant suburban community within the Greater Vancouver area.
