History & Origin
Towanna is an American coinage close to Towanda and Tawana, names that ring with the sound of place names such as Towanda and with the fashionable -wanna ending. Its appeal is musical rather than literal, so it is best treated as a coinage without a fixed meaning.
It was always rare, given to only a few dozen girls a year and cresting in the early nineteen-seventies before fading. A Towanna today is likely middle-aged, and the name reads as a rhythmic period coinage rather than a name with roots to trace.
