Tallulah Origin and Meaning

The name Tallulah is a girl's name of Irish, Native American origin meaning "leaping water, lady of abundance".

This hauntingly euphonious Choctaw name has re-entered the public domain, as memories of the outrageous actress Tallulah Bankhead have faded. For years, Tallulah was a name associated only with Bankhead, named for her paternal grandmother who was named after the Georgia town of Tallulah Falls.

A modern hipster favorite, Tallulah had been chosen for their daughters by Philip Seymour Hoffman, Patrick Dempsey, Damian Dash, Rachel Roy and Sara Rue. The name was trail-blazed by Demi Moore and Bruce Willis for their now grown daughter.

When spelled Talulla or Talullah, it is also a traditional Irish name that was borne by two saints.
