Tahlia

Does the name Tahlia have a meaning of its own?

I'm wondering because it seems to have been used in Australia pretty much exclusively and was quite popular.

Any famous namesake?

Or maybe it comes from some kind of place there?

It's a variant of Talia (2).

"From the name of a town in South Australia, perhaps meaning "near water" in an Australian Aboriginal language."

Some namesakes:

Tahlia Randall - Australian rules footballer
Tahlia McGrath - Australian cricketer
Tahlia Tupaea - Australian basketball player

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I was wondering if maybe there is a separate etymology for Tahlia (as in there being a place called Tahlia with a different meaning) but I think you're right and there isn't.
