Twilla Origin and Meaning

The name Twilla is a girl's name.

Twilla is a feminine name with uncertain origins, though it's often considered a variant of Twila. It may derive from the Old English 'twilight,' referring to the time between day and night, giving it a mystical, ethereal quality. The name has a gentle, lyrical sound with its soft consonants and flowing syllables. Twilla saw modest popularity in the United States during the early to mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon today, making it appealing to parents seeking distinctive vintage names. The double 'l' spelling variation adds a unique touch to the already uncommon Twila. The name evokes a sense of quiet beauty and transition, perhaps suggesting someone who bridges different worlds or perspectives.
