Tallula

Tallula is a girl’s name of Native American and Irish origin. A variant of Tallulah and Talula, it means “leaping water” in the Choctaw language and “town” in the Muskogean-Creek language. It may also derive from the Irish name Tuilelaith, which combines the words tuile, meaning “flood,” with flaith, meaning “sovereignty,” “nobility,” or “lordship.” It is interpreted as meaning “princess of abundance.” Famous bearers include actresses Tallulah Bankhead, Tallulah Willis, and Talulah Riley. In 2002, Patrick Dempsey and Jillian Fink chose the name Talula for their daughter, and the name has been steadily rising in popularity ever since. Whichever meaning or origin you prefer, baby will be right on trend with this pretty name.
