What Does the Name Tallyn Mean?
Tallyn is a modern spelling variant of the English given name Talon. Talon is taken from the English word talon, "claw," especially the claw of a bird of prey. That word goes back through Old French talon, "heel," to Latin talus, "ankle" or "heel"; the "claw" sense developed in English. Tallyn adds no separate word element - the double l and y are modern spelling choices - so it shares Talon's meaning.
