Meaning & origin

Talulla, a modern anglicized form of the Irish name Tuilelaith, entered U.S. records in 2011. It reached its peak rank of 13,208 in 2021, with an estimated 1 in 267,878 baby girls receiving the name that year. Since then, its trajectory has been falling, decreasing in usage from 2022 onward. The name's similarity to the more familiar Tallulah may account for its appeal, as both share a lyrical, three-syllable rhythm. While the original Irish Tuilelaith carries the meaning 'princess of abundance', Talulla's usage in the United States remains rare, tied to a taste for Celtic-inflected names with a soft, feminine sound. Parents choosing Talulla are often drawn to its distinctive yet approachable feel, avoiding the top 10,000 but still recognizable.

Talulla is a modern anglicized form of the Irish name Tuilelaith, composed of 'tuile' meaning 'abundance, flood' and 'laith' meaning 'lady, princess'. As a given name in the United States, Talulla has seen modest use since the early 2010s, likely influenced by the similar name Talullah.
