What is the significance of "Tal?" Is the literal translation "dew?" What is the meaning/symbolism?

Dew is among the blessings that Hashem bestows upon his land when we follow his commandments.

Avital= My father (Hashem) is the one who sends us dew (tal).
Tal is more than just dew. Dew symbolizes rebirth and renewal, and will be used for Techiyat Hameitim.
Avitali was also one of the wives of David Hamelach.
My erev Pesach- born daughter is named Avital Techiya...

Rav Kanievsy is against any names that are not biblical. He recently said ppl should change/ add
Something to do with mazal.

This seems unlikely, given that no one in Tanach is named Chaim.

I've heard this, and I have the same question as you lol... why is Chaim more biblical than Shira?

Nothing to do with biblical names. It has to do with the book of names. Shira, avital, Ilana, etc... are not in it.
Most people don’t have biblical names, including R Kanievsky himself.

Actually I know someone who named daughter talya and I think said the opposite.
That Hashem gives dew as a gift, whether we deserve it or not. Shows love of Hashem

You bumped up a 4 year old.thread to say this?
You know that millions of Jews do not follow Rav Kanievsky.
