Pronunciation of Talitha

[Allthatnonsense]

I've just come across this name and think that it is really pretty, providing that it is pronounced as Tabitha with an L.

Does anyone know?

Yes, it is pronounced as Tabitha with an L. Great name.

I have a friend called Talitha who uses nn Tally, which is also nice. I have only ever come across one other Talitha, who is a 4 year old.

There was a girl at school called this pronounced tah-lee-thah

I know one - her name is like Tabitha with an l but our american colleagues call her ta-lee-tha which causes her left eye to twitch :)

I wouldn't know which syllable to stress. It's a nice Biblical name though.

I would say Ta-lee-tha but I could well be wrong.

I knew one pronounced Ta-lee-tha.

Yes, was afraid of Ta - Lee - Tha pronunciation.

Oh well, back to the drawing board!

I thought Ta-Lee-Tha too. But I kind of like that pronunciation more than Talitha to rhyme with Tabitha.

There was a Talitha on Ex on the Beach (probably shouldn't admit that I watch such awful television) and hers was pronounced Tah-lee-tha.

I know one! It's TAL -itha, just like Tabitha.

Whichever is the "correct" pronunciation, I think you would get a lot of people, like me, who would see it written down and think it said "Tal-Lee-tha", and if that would annoy you, then probably not the name to pick.

I've not seen it before but read it straight away like Tabitha but with an L, sounds lovely you can definitely use it that way. Lots of names can be mispronounced, not a reason not to use them

Aramaic is not my strong point, but I'd guess it was Ta-lee-tha. You could use either pronunciation just as easily

I know one too!

Pronounced TA-LEE-TA
Nn Tally.

Very pretty and unusual.

Tah-Lee-Tha
