Taleeah is of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba tribe, and means "let me have what I desire." This unique name offers a blend of cultural richness and personal aspiration, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet meaningful. It consists of two parts: "Ta" meaning "let," and "Leah," derived from the Hebrew name Leah, which translates to "weary" or "tired." Thus, Taleeah can be interpreted as a plea or request for something desired or needed. Pronounced as /tuh-LEE-uh/, Taleeah's sound offers a harmonious blend of syllables that flows off the tongue with ease. As it is not a common name in English-speaking countries, it stands out and gives its bearer an uncommon identity. The name Taleeah also provides ample opportunities for creative nicknames or shortened forms, such as Tee or Leah, offering further flexibility and personalization to those who bear this distinctive moniker.
The name Taleeah experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years with a total of 46 births recorded between 2009 and 2019. The peak years for this name were 2010 and 2011, each seeing 8 births. However, there was a gap in recordings from 2014 to 2015, suggesting the name's popularity may have dipped during that time.
