Talea

Talea is a word in its own right, albeit an obscure one: It's a repeated rhythmic pattern used in a certain type of late Medieval European music.

That said, anyone who doesn't have a musicology degree will most likely see Talia as a variant spelling of Hebrew name Talia. That's how actress Tamera Mowry-Housley used it when she gave it to her daughter Ariah as a middle name.

Pronounced tuh-LAY-uh.

As of October 2026, Talea ranked #8869 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #3686 in 2004.
