History & Origin

Thaleia is the classical Greek spelling of Thalia, from thallein, 'to bloom; to flourish.' She appears twice in myth: as the Muse of comedy and pastoral poetry, and as one of the three Graces, companions of Aphrodite. The name has been in quiet use for centuries and reads as both ancient and cheerful (said 'thuh-LAY-uh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. in this spelling. Very rare, classical, and mythic.

Did you know? Thalia does double duty in Greek myth — she is the Muse of comedy, often shown holding a smiling mask, and also one of the three Graces. Her name means 'blooming.'
