What is the meaning of the name Atalia ?

The baby name Atalia is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced ə-TAH-lee-ə (IPA: /əˈtɑːliə/).

Atalia is Hebrew in Origin.

Atalia is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin, closely related to the biblical Athaliah (Hebrew Atalyahu/Atalyah), meaning "Yahweh is exalted" or "the Lord is exalted." The form Atalia streamlines the older Athaliah and aligns with modern Hebrew Atalya. Variants and cognates include Athalia, Athaliah, Athalie (French), Atalya (Hebrew), and Atalia (Spanish/Portuguese).

Known from the Hebrew Bible through Queen Athaliah of Judah, the name entered European awareness via the Latin Vulgate and took cultural root in early modern literature and music, notably through Racine's tragedy Athalie (1691) and Handel's oratorio Athalia (1733). In English-speaking countries Atalia remains uncommon, while Jewish and Israeli use has revived Atalya/Atalia in recent decades. Pronounced ah-tah-LEE-uh in English or ah-tahl-YAH in Hebrew, it takes nicknames such as Ata, Tali, and Talya.
