Meaning & origin
Twylla is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1922. It never cracked the national top 1000, and its peak usage occurred in 1935, during an era when many similar-sounding invented names were popular. Despite a long tail of sparse use into the 21st century, Twylla has remained a name with very low frequency, with only a handful of recorded instances in recent years. Its trajectory has been stable but minuscule, and no state reported it as a top name. The name's appeal lies in its vintage, unconventional sound, though it lacks a clear etymological origin.
Twylla first appeared in the United States in 1922 and likely arose as a modern invention, combining a fashionable 'Tw-' sound with the popular '-ylla' suffix seen in names like Sylla or Mylla. It saw modest use during the 1930s and 1940s, with its peak in 1935, but never entered widespread use. Its meaning is not clearly attested.
