Thalia
Girl name · 68 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Thalia: 68 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 10 births in 2023.
The name Thalia comes from the Greek Θάλεια (Thaleia), meaning “to bloom” or “to flourish,” and in mythology she was one of the three Graces, goddesses of charm and beauty, as well as the Muse of comedy and pastoral poetry. Notable bearers include the Greek Muse herself and the Mexican-American actress and singer Thalía, known for her telenovela roles and Latin pop hits. While no major places bear her name directly, the word appears in botany as the genus Thalia, a group of aquatic plants. In Scotland, Thalia sees occasional use, often reflecting a classical revival trend, and its cheerful meaning makes it an appealing choice for parents seeking a name with artistic and joyful associations.
