Meaning & origin
Tijuan is a modern American name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1973, a period that saw many inventive spellings and place-inspired names. It reached its peak frequency in 1974, and while it has never been common, it has shown stable but limited use since then. The name's resemblance to Tijuana, Mexico, suggests a geographic or stylistic inspiration common in the 1970s. The trajectory for Tijuan is stable, meaning it continues to be used very occasionally.
Tijuan appears to be a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in the 1970s. It may be a creative respelling of Tijuana, the name of a city in Mexico, which itself may be derived from a native word meaning "by the sea" or from the Spanish spelling of a Native American village. The name has seen sporadic use in the U.S., with its peak popularity in 1974.
