Tallen is Irish in Origin.

Tallen (TAL-en) is a modern English given name with layered roots. It is often treated as a respelling of Talon, an English word-name from Old French talon meaning heel and, by extension, the claw of a bird of prey, lending associations of precision and strength. It also aligns with the surname Tallon, borne in Ireland since the medieval era and probably introduced by Norman settlers from French Talon; as a nickname-surname it could describe someone with a notable heel or stride. In contemporary use, Tallen can likewise be read as a modern coinage blending familiar elements like Tyler and Allen.

Usage has been modest, rising in North America in the 1990s–2000s alongside Talon and Talan. Variants and related forms include Talan, Talon, Tallon, Talen, and Talyn/Talynn. The name is commonly unisex today, though it appears more frequently for boys.
