Tywona is of African origin, specifically from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria and Benin. It is derived from the Yoruba word "Oyono," meaning "we have been rewarded with a child." The name Tywona carries a profound meaning of joy and gratitude for parenthood. In English-speaking countries, it is often spelled as Tywonda or Tywonka to accommodate phonetic pronunciation.
Tywona had 12 babies born between 1972 and 1976, with a gap of four years between the first five births and the subsequent seven.
