Meaning & origin
Twylah is a rare and mostly forgotten name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1910, its peak year. It has never ranked in the top 1000 and remains a highly unusual choice. The name is a variant of Twila or Twyla, which were themselves uncommon coinages from the early 1900s. Due to its obscurity, no top states are associated with the name. Its trajectory is stable but negligible, with only occasional use. For parents seeking an exceptionally distinctive name with a vintage sound, Twylah offers a literary or twilight-inspired feel without the familiarity of more common alternatives.
