Meaning & origin
Tiawana is a rarely used girl's name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1963. The name peaked in popularity in 1975, during its strongest decade, the 1970s, and has since declined sharply. The trajectory is stable at a very low usage level. Though no top states are recorded, the name likely emerged within African American naming traditions that favored inventive, melodious names during that period. Tiawana is a modern coinage, without a traditional etymology, but shares stylistic features with other names from the same era like Tiana and Shawna.
Tiawana first appeared in U.S. records in the 1960s and saw its peak usage in 1975. It is likely a modern coinage, combining elements from names such as Tia (a short form of names like LaTia or a variant of Thea) and the popular suffix -wana or -anna, or possibly an invented respelling of Tijuana. No traditional etymology or meaning has been established.
