What Does the Name Taleya Mean?
Taleya is an English-language spelling of the Hebrew feminine name Talya (טַלְיָה), also transliterated Talia. The usual explanation derives it from tal (טַל), "dew," and Yah (יָהּ), a short form of the divine name, giving the literal sense "dew of Yah" and the customary meaning "dew of God." Aramaic talya means "lamb," and the Greek name Thalia has a separate origin; neither is needed to explain the Hebrew name, though the similar sounds can cause confusion.
