Meaning:Bird claw
The charming name Talon stems from British and Greek roots, and it means “bird claw.” While a bird's eye is quick and cunning, its claws are for seizing what's theirs. Just like a bird's talon, your little one will be also clawing their way to the top in life through their hard work and determination. A sharp name such as this might have even sharper connotations, but at the end of the day, this name is about perseverance and baby will be, too.
