Grom a Greek with a speech defect :P

But seriously, they are two different names: Thalia / ÈÜëåéá meand healthy, vigorous, and is derived from èÜëëù (thallo), to sprout, to bloom. There is also a boy version of the name, Thaletas (ÈáëÞôáò) which has not been too popular in the past millennium or two.
