Talisa

Meaning of Talisa

Talisa glides off the tongue with a lilting tuh-LEE-suh, like morning dew dancing on a sea breeze. With roots in the Hebrew “Taliyah” (dew from heaven) and a wink to the Greek “Thalassa” (sea), it wraps nature’s wonder and mythic grace into one neat package. In New York’s baby-name charts of the late ’80s and early ’90s, Talisa popped up just often enough—peaking at No. 230 in 1989—to stand out without swamping the playground. By choosing Talisa, parents gift their daughter a warm, memorable name that feels both fresh and timeless—a gentle wave of charm that carries her from first day at school to all the adventures beyond. And the best part? They get options on the fly—Tal, Lisa or the full Talisa all land just right.
