About the name
Tala is Tagalog — "star" — and in Philippine mythology the goddess of the morning and evening star, guiding fishermen home before lighthouses existed.
Rare in America (a Frozen 2 elk and a Moana grandmother brushed against the sound), Tala offers the star category with a goddess pedigree.
Two bright syllables (TAH-lah). It pairs well with grounding middles (Tala Jane, Tala James). On our vibe map it is Celestial at navigation grade with Cultural Fusion latitude and Modern Minimalist shine — the star that gets you home.
