History & Origin

Talonda is a coined name joining the Ta- prefix with a -londa element echoing Yolanda and Rolonda. Names assembled from a prefix and a familiar ending flourished in African American naming from the nineteen-seventies onward, valuing an individual, melodic sound over an inherited meaning.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point in the mid-nineteen-seventies. A girl named Talonda then is in her early fifties today.

Did you know? The Ta- opening of Talonda was one of the busy prefixes of late twentieth-century American naming, spun onto many bases to make fresh-sounding girls' names.
