Meaning for Zalia
Does anyone know what the meaning of the name Zalia is, and where it comes from? Thanks

Zalia is not included in Smadar Shir Sidi's The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names. It is therefore rare or has been created since the book was published in 1989.
Perhaps one guess would be that Zalia is someone's "Anglicization" of Tzlila, a name which is also spelled Zlila in Israel and which is the feminine form of Tzlil, which means "tone, sound" in Hebrew. But that is just a guess, based on the idea that it is a name with a Hebrew origin.

www.hebrewletters.com includes Atzalya, and an Anglicised version, Azalia, which are both related to Azel. It's possible that Zalia is a shortened version of Azalia that's crept into feminine usage.

Another good possibility! :)

Where did you hear the name? Was it on a boy or a girl? What country does the person named Zalia live in? What languages does he/she speak? Is he/she from a different country originally?

Its a girls name, supposed to be Hebrew. I don't know anyone by this name but am thinking of using it for our new baby, but want to know a meaning for it.
