Talulah is Native American in Origin.

Talulah is a modern spelling of Tallulah, a name with layered origins. In the Southeastern United States it is tied to Native American toponyms (often attributed to Choctaw or Muscogee/Creek), commonly glossed as “leaping water,” echoing cataracts like Tallulah Falls. Another thread links it to the medieval Irish Gaelic Tuilelaith/Taileflaith (from tuile “abundance, flood” + flaith “ruler, sovereign”), source of the saint’s name Talulla, giving an alternate sense of “abundant princess” or “sovereign of plenty.”

As a given name in English, it gained sparkle through stage star Tallulah Bankhead (1902–1968) and later modern visibility via actress Talulah Riley, spurring renewed usage in Britain and the U.S. Spellings and variants include Tallulah, Talula, Tallula, and Talulla; nicknames range from Lula and Lulu to Tally and Tula. The Talulah form feels contemporary yet retains a lyrical, water-bright heritage.
