Talitha (given name)

Talitha is a feminine given name with Aramaic origins. It is derived from the Aramaic phrase "ṭalyĕṯā qūm" (טַלְיְתָא קוּמִי), which translates to "Little girl, I say to you, arise!"

The name gained prominence from its appearance in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in Mark 5:41, where Jesus uses the phrase to resurrect a young girl. This biblical association lends the name a spiritual and miraculous connotation.

Talitha is used in various cultures and languages, retaining its original meaning and often symbolizing hope, rebirth, and new beginnings. While its popularity has fluctuated over time, it remains a relatively uncommon but recognized name, often appreciated for its unique sound and meaningful origin.
