Meaning & origin

Talullah is a rare and lyrical name, closely related to Tallulah. It first appeared in U.S. records in 2006 and has been slowly rising in use since 2008. In its peak year of 2023, the name still remained quite uncommon, with a 2025 rank of 9,457 and an incidence of 1 in 160,727 births. The name's dual Irish and Native American roots give it a cross-cultural appeal, though its top states are not recorded due to limited data. Talullah's gentle sound and literary connections make it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something uncommon.

Talullah is a variant of Tallulah, a name of disputed origin. It is often linked to the Irish name Tuilelaith, composed of tuile 'abundance, flood' and laith 'lady, princess', hence 'lady of abundance'. Alternatively, it may derive from the Choctaw word 'tallulah' meaning 'leaping water', associated with the Tallulah River in Georgia. The spelling Talullah gained modest modern use in the United States.
