Talia (given name)

Talia is a Modern Hebrew feminine given name, as well as a variant spelling of Thalia and a short form of Natalia.

Jews interpret it as a Hebrew combination of ṭal ('dew') and the theophoric suffix -yāh, meaning 'dew of God'. Yehotal, a theophoric prefix combined with -ṭal, is recorded as both a masculine and a feminine name in Elephantine papyri; Avital and Hamutal are feminine names in Biblical Hebrew, but their etymologies are unknown, with proposals for Hamutal ranging from "my father-in-law is protection" to "dew of Ḥammu". Talya (טַלְיָא or טַלְיָה) referred to a male youth in Aramaic.
