I am really curious about this name. I found it when I was studying my family tree. We have copies of her diary which very clearly state that this is her name and not a typo. She was my great grandfathers older sister and it's commonly believed that this side of the family hailed from England and possibly France. However,the only information I have ever found on the name itself leads me to believe it is Scottish in origin (and obscure even there). The closest name I have found to Telethia is Talitha (which I believe is biblical in origin) so I don't think it ties into Telethia. Any ideas?
