[edit] Stars named Talitha

The traditional star name Talitha refers to two stars in the Ursa Major constellation:

• Iota Ursae Majoris, also known as Talitha Borealis, or the "northern Talitha".
• Kappa Ursae Majoris, also known as Talitha Australis, or the "southern Talitha".

The name derives from the Arabic phrase, القفزة الثالثة (al-qafzat aθ-θāliθah or at-tālitah) meaning "The third leap [of the gazelle]", referring to an Arabic asterism.
