History & Origin
Tywanda is an American coinage in the Towanda/Wanda family, pairing a bright Ty- start with the -wanda ending. Wanda itself is Slavic, but Tywanda's appeal is musical rather than literal, so it is best treated as a sound-coinage without a fixed meaning.
It stayed rare, given to only a few dozen girls a year and cresting in the mid nineteen-seventies before fading. A Tywanda today is likely middle-aged, and the name reads as a rhythmic period coinage rather than a name with roots to trace.
