Meaning & origin

The name Tuyet, meaning 'snow' in Vietnamese, entered U.S. records in 1976 and saw its peak usage in 1983. Its trajectory remained stable over the decades, never reaching widespread popularity. As of 2025, it continues to be a distinctive choice, reflecting Vietnamese heritage and the beauty of snow. Although its one-in-N rate is not available, its rarity underscores its uniqueness. Tuyet is almost exclusively used for girls, and while it has no recorded top states, its presence in the U.S. is tied to Vietnamese-American communities.

Tuyet is a Vietnamese name directly derived from the Sino-Vietnamese word 'tuyết' meaning 'snow'. It is used as a feminine given name in Vietnam, often evoking purity and beauty. The name has been used in Vietnam for centuries, but its appearance in U.S. records began in the late 20th century, reflecting immigration patterns after the Vietnam War.
