Talula
Meaning of Talula
Talula is a feminine given name often regarded as a variant of Tallulah, itself derived from the Muskogean (Creek) word traditionally interpreted as “leaping water.” Pronounced tuh-LOO-luh (/təˈluːlə/) in English, it follows a precise three-syllable structure with primary stress on the second syllable. U.S. Social Security Administration records from 2001 through 2024 show annual occurrences fluctuating between 5 and 37 newborns, yielding popularity ranks in the 897–966 range; the 37 instances registered in 2024 correspond to a rank of 913, marking a modest recent rise. This quantitative profile underscores Talula’s status as a distinctive choice—parents selecting it need not expect an influx of name-twins. Though overall usage remains rare, occasional cultural visibility has been afforded by figures such as actress Tallulah Bankhead.
