The name and it's origin is of J2b2-L283 proto-Albanoid:
The regional name Dalmatia has the same root as the tribal name Dalmatae and the toponym Delminium.[4][5][6] It is considered to be connected to the Albanian dele and its variants which include the Gheg form delmë, meaning "sheep", and to the Albanian term delmer, "shepherd".[7][8][9][10][11][12]In Albania, Delvinë represents a toponym linked to the root *dele.[10]
Similar names among Illyrians also appear among Messapians who are connected to Albanian

A proto-Albanoid population spread this Y-DNA and these names, related also to the Glasinac Iron Age culture of the Western Balkans and Messapian in Italy.

(Modern Albanians also have Thracian and Greek and other admixture of course before you start larping about clustering)
