Athalia
About Athalia
Athalia was an Old Testament daughter of Jezebel and a king's powerful wife with a gory history. You don't wanna know -- and you probably don't wanna name your kid after her either. Pretty name, though, and one that's in step with the current fashions for A beginnings and endings as well as for distinctive names with deep roots. Atalia is a simplified spelling..
Pronounced uh-THAHL-yuh.
As of October 2026, Athalia ranked #2103 in US births in 2025 SSA.
