The name Talia bears phonological similarities to names found in many languages. The Assyrian community heavily used the name "T(h)alia", which, in Neo-Aramaic, means "boy".[1] The Greek name Thalia (or Thalía or Thaleia (/θəˈlaɪ.ə/; Greek: Θάλεια from θάλλειν "to bloom") dates back to antiquity and is relatively popular in a number of countries. However, pronunciation varies and in some cases the θ/t distinction of the original Greek is lost (e.g. Spanish pronunciation: [taˈli.a]). A similar-sounding name is also in use in Polynesian cultures.
