Meaning & origin
Tirza is a gently uncommon name with biblical roots, first recorded in the United States in 1962. It reached its peak popularity in 2003, and after a period of decline, its usage has been rising again since 2022. The name is borne by approximately 1 in every 321,453 baby girls as of 2025, placing it at rank 14,942. While it has no top states of concentration, its quiet presence reflects a preference for names with Old Testament resonance.
Tirza is a Hebrew name found in the Bible as a place name and the name of a daughter of Zelophehad. The root is uncertain, but it may be related to the Hebrew word 'ratzon' (pleasure) or 'tirzah' (cypress tree). The name was revived in modern times, particularly in the 20th century.
