Talitha is an Aramaic name meaning "little girl," famously spoken by Jesus in the Bible when he raised Jairus’s daughter, saying "Talitha cumi" ("Little girl, I say to you, get up"). This sacred origin gives the name a gentle yet profound resonance. Notable bearers include Talitha Getty, the glamorous American actress and socialite of the 1960s, and contemporary actress Talitha Bateman, known for her roles in *Annabelle: Creation* and *The Hate U Give*. While no specific place shares the name, the biblical story has inspired countless artworks and hymns. The variant Thalita is sometimes used in Portuguese-speaking countries, and Talitha enjoys modest but enduring popularity in Scotland, cherished for its soft sound and spiritual depth.
