Talin is a unisex name of Armenian origin, derived from the word "taline," meaning "morning dew." It is typically used more often for girls than boys, though its usage as a boy's name has been increasing in recent years. The name gained some popularity internationally after it was used by Armenian-American singer System of a Down for their 2005 album, "Mezmerize," and one of its tracks, "Toxin the Womb." However, it remains relatively uncommon outside of Armenia and among Armenian diaspora communities worldwide.
The name Talin had varying popularity over time with peaks in the early to mid-1990s and a recent resurgence since 2017.
