Meaning: Large claw of a bird of prey

Tallen is a boy’s name of French origin and a beautiful way to honor your little windborne one. A twist on the name Talon, which is also an English and Norman French term for the “large claw of a bird of prey,” Tallen tells of all the wonders wielded by winged creatures. Just as humans rely on their hands and feet, so do birds take to their talons to catch prey, climb trees, and protect themselves against predators. Baby may not have their own convenient set of claws, but a name like Tallen might come just as handy.
