Meaning & origin
Tywana is a feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1954, placing its origins in mid-20th century American naming trends. It reached its peak popularity in 1974, and by 2025 its usage remained stable at very low levels. The name's exact meaning is unclear, but it resembles other coinages of the era, such as Tawana and Tyra, which were formed from fashionable sounds and suffixes. Tywana has never been among the most popular names in any state, suggesting it has remained a rare and distinctive choice. Its trajectory has been remarkably stable since the 1970s, without any notable revival.
Tywana first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1954, suggesting a mid-20th century coinage. It may be a respelling of Tawana, itself a variant of Tiana, or a blend of sounds fashionable in the 1950s and 1960s. The name peaked in popularity in 1974 and has remained in occasional use since.
