Meaning:To be loved; God's glory
Telka is a feminine name that will remind your little one that to be held dear and to hold others dear in return is one of the greatest joys of life. Often spelled Télka or Teĺka, this moniker could be a shortened form of the Polish and Kashubian title Telimena. Kashubian is a Slavic language spoken in certain parts of Poland, so Telka's Slavic connections are very well-established. Telimena is possibly a variant of the Greek Philomena, sharing the translation of "to be loved" with Telka. From the moment sweet Telka arrives, you'll ensure this endearment rings true for them, uplifting them with your words and always being there when they need support. Perhaps Telka is a Slavic spin on Thékla, another Greek name that translates to "God's glory." Whatever your and sweet Telka's religious beliefs, their name will represent the people and things they cherish most
