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. == People with the given name == === Talia === Talia Amar, Israeli pianist and composer Talia Balsam, American actress Talia Castellano, American internet celebrity Talia Chetrit, American artist and photographer Talia Chiarelli, Canadian gymnast Talia DellaPeruta, American soccer player Talia Fowler, Australian dancer Talia Gabarra, American soccer player Talia Gibson, Australian tennis player Talia Hibbert, British novelist Talia Jane, American writer and labor activist Talia Lavin, American journalist and author Talia Leman, American nonprofit organization executive Talia Lugacy, American film director, writer and producer Talia Mar, British singer-songwriter and internet personality Talia Marshall, New Zealand writer Talia Martin, Australian sprinter Talia Ng, Canadian badminton player Talia Or, Israeli-German operatic soprano Talia Radan, Australian rules footballer Talia Reese, American comedian Talia Ryder, American actress Talia Schlanger, Canadian radio broadcaster Talia Shapira, Israeli actress, singer, comedian and writer Talia Shire, American actress Talia Sommer, Israeli footballer Talia Suskauer, American stage actress Talia von Oelhoffen, American basketball player Talia White, Canadian soccer player Talia Younis, Australian soccer player Talia Zucker, Australian actress FKA Twigs, English singer and dancer born Tahliah Barnett === Fictional characters === Queen Talia, in the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Talia, the dormant princess in an early version of the Sleeping Beauty legend Talia al Ghul, from DC Comics Talia Gladys, in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Talia Parra, the titular character of the teen sitcom Talia in the Kitchen Talia Patapoutian, a Season 4 contestant in Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman Talia Morgan, on The Young and the Restless Talia Sahid, on the American soap opera One Life to Live Talia Winters, on the television series Babylon 5 Talia Wagner, daughter of Nightcrawler and The Scarlet Witch in an alternate universe of X-Men Lady Tahlia, in the children's book Curious George (book) Talia, a main character in LoliRock == See also == Talia (disambiguation) Thalia (disambiguation) == References ==
