Tilla is a rare and unique given name of uncertain origin. It may derive from the Latin 'tilla', meaning 'hillock' or 'mound', reflecting its possible origins as a place name. Alternatively, Tilla could be considered a variant form of other names like Thilda or Matilda. In recent years, it has seen some usage in English-speaking countries, particularly among those seeking distinctive and memorable names for their children.
According to the statistical data provided, the name Tilla has been used consistently but infrequently over the past century in the United States. Between 1881 and 1985, there were a total of 86 babies named Tilla born in the U.S.
The peak years for the name Tilla appear to be around the late 1800s and early 1900s, with nine births recorded in 1889 and seven births in both 1890 and 1916. Despite these peaks, it's important to note that even during these years, Tilla was not a particularly common name.
After the 1920s, there were fewer than ten instances of the name Tilla being given each year until 1985, when seven babies were named Tilla. This indicates that while the name has had some popularity over time, it has never been extremely common in the United States.
