Tylah, of Welsh origin, is a unisex given name that has gained popularity in recent years. It is believed to be a variant spelling of the male name Dylan, which means "son of the sea" or "great tide." However, Tylah can also be considered a female name due to its ending with an 'a,' similar to other popular names like Taylor and Bailey. The name has a modern and unique sound while still maintaining a connection to its traditional Welsh roots. In terms of popularity, Tylah has not yet made it into the Social Security Administration's top 1000 baby names in the United States but is expected to continue growing in usage as parents seek distinctive and meaningful names for their children.
The name Tylah has seen a steady increase in popularity since the late 1990s, with a significant jump from 18 births in 1997 to 24 births in 2002. The peak of popularity occurred between 2005 and 2013, with an average of around 26 births per year during this period. However, there has been a slight decline since then, with 21 births in 2019 and 15 births each in 2021 and 2022. Despite the recent decrease, Tylah remains a popular name, having reached its total of 607 births as of 2023.
