Meaning & origin

Tjuana is a modern American name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1960. It has never been common, with its peak year of usage occurring in 1971. Since then, its use has remained stable at a very low frequency. The name may have been inspired by the Mexican city Tijuana or created as a feminine form using the popular prefix 'T' and suffix 'juana.' No top states recorded notable usage, indicating it has been used sporadically across the country. As a rare coinage, Tjuana reflects the creative naming trends of the late 20th century.

Tjuana appears to be a modern American name, first recorded in 1960. It resembles the name Tijuana, a border city in Mexico, but may have been created as a variation of names like Juana or Dejuana. The name saw peak popularity in 1971, though it has always been uncommon.
