A taxonomic genus within the family Phlaeothripidae – certain thrips.
Talitha is a girl's baby name of Aramaic origin meaning 'little girl' or 'young girl.' The word appears in the New Testament in the phrase Talitha kumi — 'Little girl, arise!' — the words Jesus spoke when raising the daughter of Jairus from death.
Rare and deeply biblical, Talitha carries one of the most intimate and miraculous moments in Christian scripture.
