How to Say “Talia” in French

By Colleen Anne • Updated October 5, 2026

Talia

Talia is the French form of the female given name Talia.

Did you know?

While Talia is used in France, it is often a modern variant of the more traditional Thalie, the name of the Greek muse of comedy and idyllic poetry.
Historically, French officials could reject names like Talia if they felt the name lacked a sufficiently 'French' or traditional religious character.
In French, if you mispronounce Talia slightly, it may sound like tailla, which is a form of the verb 'to cut' or 'to hack'.

Examples in context

Je connais une fille qui s'appelle Talia.
I know a girl named Talia.
Est-ce que Talia vient à la fête ?
Is Talia coming to the party?
Talia est une excellente étudiante.
Talia is an excellent student.

Example conversation

Two friends are discussing their classmates at a café.

Hugo

As-tu vu Talia aujourd'hui ?
Did you see Talia today?
Emma

Non, je n'ai pas vu Talia.
No, I haven't seen Talia.
Hugo

Elle devait être ici avec nous.
She was supposed to be here with us.
Emma

Peut-être qu'elle est en retard.
Maybe she is running late.
