ArchivesRe: Meaning for Zalia
in reply to a message by Amy
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.
