I think we've discussed this before. The name of the letter came first (ultimately from a semitic daleth meaning door). It was written in Greek with the familiar triangular shape. Somebody (I don't know who) looked at the mouth of the Nile and said "It's delta-shaped" and the name stuck, and then spread to other rivers.
