History & Origin
Talasia is a product of the 1990s vogue for names ending in -asia, when American families, especially Black families, coined melodic girls' names from favored sounds. The Ta- front is one of the era's most productive prefixes, and the -asia tail matches a broad set of contemporaries. Talasia appears in United States records from the mid-1990s and was given to only a modest number of girls.
It never became common, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, so a girl named Talasia then would be in her late teens today. It reads as a rhythmic coinage rather than a revival, and relatives of the sound like Anastasia or Malasia stayed more familiar.
