Dew of God or gentle
Telia is a rare name with multiple potential roots. It is often considered a variant of the Hebrew name Talia, meaning 'dew of God,' or it may be linked to the Greek 'telos' meaning 'end' or 'purpose.' In some contexts, it is used as a diminutive of names like Adetelia or Marcella.
