Taliyah

Taliyah comes from a rich tapestry of meanings, drawing from both Hebrew and Arabic roots. In Hebrew, Taliyah carries the poetic meaning of 'Dew from God', combining 'tal' (dew) and 'Yah' (God). This gives it a gentle, natural grace, like a morning dew that promises a fresh start. On the Arabic side, it means 'Ascending, rising', evoking a sense of ambition and upward movement. Together, these meanings paint a picture of a name that is both serene and aspirational.

In terms of popularity, Taliyah has had an interesting journey. It first appeared in the Top 1000 in 2001 and stayed there for a commendable 19 years, marking its presence every year until 2019. The name reached its peak at #654 in 2009, showcasing its appeal during the 2000s and 2010s. However, in recent years, it has slipped a bit, ranking at #1120 in 2024.
