ArchivesRe: The History of Talia?
in reply to a message by Egyptian Princess
The other spellings (Taliah, Tahlia etc) are just that - spelling variations. Changing the spelling of an existing name is a popular way of creating a "different-looking" name while maintaining the same sound. The variations don't have their own meanings.
The two original names are Talia (Hebrew) and Thalia (Greek) - click the links.

Thank you very much :) So there is no way for Talia and Thalia to be related names? Sometimes when going throught the database I see some names have more than one orgin usage and I didn't know if Talia had any other orgin usages or if its just Hebrew and thats all. Do you know if there are any other orgins that used the name Talia? Thank you for any input I really appreciate it. Thank you.

Even though Talia and Thalia have distinctly different origins, I think it's possible that Talia could also be a form of Thalia in much the same way that Teresa was derived from Theresa. Not everyone pronounced the h and over time, it was dropped in some cultures. BTW, there is a Latina singer, Thalia, who pronounces her name without the h.
Talia could also be a short form of Natalia.
Talia could also be a short form of Natalia.
