Biblical meaning of the name Talitha
Meaning
“Little girl”
Talitha is Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke: “little girl”, “maiden”. Mark kept Jesus’ exact words — “Talitha cumi”, “little girl, arise” — and translated them for his Greek readers.
In the original:ταλιθά talithá · Strong G5008
Who was Talitha in the Bible?
Talitha is not the name of a character in the Bible: it is what Jesus called Jairus’ twelve-year-old daughter when he raised her. He took her by the hand, said “Talitha cumi”, and she got up and walked. The name was born from those words of Jesus.
