Originally, the name of the place was Thali (some locals still call it by this name), but since the town is settled on a long and gentle hill (known as “Sain” in Garhwali language) it later came to be known as Thalisain.
Just like in Gairsain, “Gair” means a deep place or a valley and “Sain” means a flattish hill.
