Tynetta is of African American origin, derived from a combination of two names: Tina and Yetta. It became popular during the mid-20th century among African American communities in the United States. Tynetta is often associated with the cultural movement of that era, reflecting a trend towards creating unique and meaningful names for children. The name Tynetta is not widespread internationally but has been used within specific African American communities, giving it a distinct cultural identity. It is considered a somewhat uncommon yet notable choice for parents looking to honor their African American heritage or those simply drawn to its unique sound and meaning.
"Tynetta had a notable increase in popularity between the late 1960s and early 1970s, with peaks of 19 births in 1968 and 17 births in 1973. However, its usage fluctuated significantly over time, as indicated by the varying number of births each year. After a brief resurgence in the late 1980s to early 1990s (with peaks of 14 births in both 1990 and 1993), the name's popularity dwindled again, with only 7 births in 1998 and 1999. In total, there were 307 babies named Tynetta between 1961 and 1999."
