Thalyta is Aramaic, Brazilian in Origin.

Thalyta is a modern Brazilian Portuguese spelling of Thalita/Talita, ultimately from the Aramaic Talitha, the word spoken by Jesus in Mark 5:41 ("Talitha koum"), traditionally glossed as "little girl, arise." As a given name, it conveys the sense of "young girl" or "maiden," with a gentle, hopeful undertone tied to the biblical scene of restoration.

Usage spread in Iberian and Latin American communities in the 20th century, with Brazil popularizing creative orthographies that insert h and y. Variants include Talita and Thalita (Portuguese/Spanish), Talitha and Thalitha (English), and Talyta/Thalyta as stylish modern forms. Common short forms are Thali/Thaly, Lita, and Tata. Though sometimes confused with Greek Thalia, Thalyta has a distinct Aramaic origin. The name remains familiar in Brazil, where it peaked from the 1980s through the early 2000s.
