First name origin & meaning: French: Reward First name variations: Tally, Tallie Last name origins & meanings:
- English (of Norman origin): of much disputed origin, but probably
from a Germanic personal name composed of the elements tal
‘destroy’ + bod ‘message’, ‘tidings’, i.e. ‘messenger of
destruction’. In this form the name is also found in France, taken
there apparently by English immigrants; the usual French form is
Talbert.
- Talbot is the name of an ancient Irish family of Norman origin,
which have held the earldoms of Shrewsbury and Waterford since the 15th
century. They were granted the baronial estate of Malahide, near
Dublin, by Henry II (1154–89), an estate that they held for over
850 years. They trace their descent from Richard de Talbott, mentioned
in the Domesday Book. His son, Hugh de Talbot or Talebot’h, became
governor of Plessis Castle, Normandy, France, in 1118.
