Tahlia

Girl name · 46 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tahlia: 46 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2008.

Tahlia is a name with warm, melodic origins, primarily rooted in Hebrew where it comes from *Tal*, meaning "dew," and is often interpreted as "dew from God" or "morning dew," symbolizing freshness and renewal. It also shares connections with the Australian Aboriginal name Tahlia, meaning "near water," and can be a variant of the Arabic name Tahliya, meaning "small palm tree" or "little gazelle." Famous bearers include the acclaimed Australian actress Tahlia McGrath, known for her stage and screen work, and Tahlia Rotumah, a celebrated Indigenous Australian musician. The name occasionally appears as a given name in Scottish records from the 1990s onward, reflecting modern multicultural influence. A notable variant is Talia, which shares the same Hebrew root and is more common across Europe, while Tahlia’s soft sounds also link it to the Scottish name Talitha, from the Aramaic phrase meaning "little girl."
