Meaning & origin
Dew from heaven (Hebrew); or blooming (Greek)
Talia has two common roots: in Hebrew it can mean 'dew from heaven', a symbol of freshness and blessing, while it is also used as a short form of the Greek-rooted Natalia or Thalia. Its light, pretty sound has made it a well-liked international choice.
