Tallen
Meaning of Tallen
Tallen, pronounced TAL-uhn (/ˈtælən/), emerges as an intriguingly modern choice rooted in Anglo-Norman and English surname traditions—likely descending from the Old French talon, “heel” or “spur,” and later adopted as a family name to denote someone of steadfast bearing. Over the past three decades in the United States, its understated presence—hovering around a dozen to two dozen newborns annually and ranking just inside the top 1,000—has lent it the quiet confidence of a name unburdened by ubiquity. In its two-syllable rhythm one detects both approachability and latent resolve, as if every introduction carries a promise of loyalty. Parents drawn to Tallen may appreciate its blend of familiar linguistic roots and fresh rarity—a discreet statement piece less likely to be elbowed aside by the more common Davids and Jacks.
