Talya is an alternate transcription of Hebrew טַלְיָה or טַלְיָא, closely related to the name Talia 1. It is a feminine name of Hebrew origin, primarily used in Hebrew-speaking communities.
Etymology
The root name Talya (or Talia) is derived from Hebrew elements: טַל (ṭal) meaning "dew" and יָהּ (yah) referring to the Hebrew God. Thus, the name carries the poetic meaning "dew from God," symbolizing divine blessing and refreshment.
