Tallyson is English in Origin.

Tallyson is a modern given name with dual pathways of origin. In English it reads as a surname-style coinage: Tally/Tallis plus the patronymic -son, with Tallis linked to Middle English/Old French taillis “copse, thicket” (cf. the composer Thomas Tallis). In Brazil and Lusophone contexts it aligns with a common -son naming trend, functioning as “son of Thales,” where Thales ultimately derives from Greek thallō “to bloom,” giving Tallyson the broad sense “descendant of Tal/Thales.”

Usage is recent: it is rare in the US/UK and largely absent from historical rolls, but has gained late‑20th‑ and 21st‑century visibility in Brazil through footballers and popular culture. Spelling is fluid; variants include Thallyson, Talisson, Thalison, Talyson, Tallison, and Tallysson. Short forms Tally or Tal are common. The name skews male due to the -son suffix, yet, like many surname names, is sometimes used unisex.
