(, , , , etc) /'talja (Hebrew), 'taliə (Jewish English) = Hebrew . Most likely borrowed into Hebrew from Greek Thalia (joyful Muse, Muse of comedy and poetry, literally "blooming, bountiful") or Aramaic Talia (=youth, boyfriend, male child), but in Hebrew it also means "dew of G-d" by reanalysis as tal + yah (=dew [of] G-d); cognate to the Arabic name Talia, with the same multiple meanings and etymologies
