Meaning & origin
Talina is a modern American name that first entered the U.S. baby name charts in 1960. Its popularity peaked in 1981, yet it has remained relatively rare, used for an estimated 1 in 200,908 girls in 2025. Since 2021, its trajectory has been rising, suggesting a slow but steady renewed interest in this melodic, feminine name. Despite its rarity, Talina's sound aligns with the enduring appeal of names ending in '-ina.' The name has not been recorded among the top baby names in any state, reflecting its niche but consistent usage.
Talina first appeared in the United States in the 1960s. It is likely a modern coinage, blending sounds from names such as Talia (Hebrew for 'dew') and Alina (Slavic for 'bright, beautiful'). The name has never entered widespread use but has seen modest, intermittent popularity.
