Talib

Meaning of Talib

Talib is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, derived from the word for “student” or “seeker of knowledge.” Rooted in a cultural tradition that prizes learning and inquiry, the name conveys a quiet dignity and intellectual curiosity. Over time it has been embraced beyond its original linguistic setting, finding a place in Anglo-American naming circles where its crisp two-syllable form balances modern sensibility with cultural depth. Pronounced TAH-lib (/ˈtɑlɪb/), Talib has maintained a modest but steady presence in the United States’ top 1,000 boy names for decades, appealing to parents who value thoughtful understatement and a nod to scholarly heritage.
