dew from heaven
The story
Talia is Hebrew for dew from heaven, tal and yah joined, one of the gentlest images any name carries, and its American record is a four-rise staircase: about 940 in the 1970s, the decade a quiet actress carried the name into two of the era's defining film families, then 3,100, 5,500, 8,500, and 9,400 in the 2010s, with 6,600 so far this decade. Decade buckets point, they do not convict. It shares a sound-family with Thalia, the Greek muse road, and Natalia's clipped daughter forms, each charting separately. In our records it goes to girls about 34,200 to five. Dew is the blessing that arrives overnight without being asked: the parents who chose this name four decades running seem to have understood the etymology perfectly.

New South Wales (not all of Australia) publishes only each year’s 100 most popular names per sex, so a missing year means below that top 100, not rare. Source: NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, popular baby names
Not on the record in Puerto Rico: that registry withholds small counts, so rare uses may sit below its floor.
Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
