Meaning & origin
Talia entered U.S. records in 1960 and has climbed steadily, with a notable rise since 1985. It reached its peak rank of 265 in 2025, with a rate of 1 in 1,362 births. The name is most popular in the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, reflecting a concentration in diverse, metropolitan areas. Its Hebrew roots give it a meaningful connection to nature and spirituality, while its soft, melodic sound appeals to modern parents. The trajectory shows consistent growth over four decades, suggesting Talia is a name that has quietly but firmly established itself without becoming overly common.
Talia is a Hebrew name meaning 'dew from heaven' or simply 'dew' (טל, tal). It appears in the Bible (Numbers 11:9) as a symbol of divine blessing. The name has been used in Jewish communities for centuries and gained broader popularity in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward. A homonymous Greek name Thalia (Θάλεια) meaning 'to flourish' is unrelated but sometimes confounded.
