Tila is Sanskrit in Origin.
Tila is an Indic feminine name from Sanskrit तिल (tila), a Vedic-period noun for the sesame plant or its seed. Morphologically it is simple, not a compound; in classical Sanskrit tila is usually masculine as a noun, while the Latin-letter name Tila functions as feminine in modern naming. The literal sense is sesame seed, the small oil-rich seed used in food, medicine, and ritual. Its deeper etymology is uncertain, so Sanskrit tila is the secure root form.
South Asian associations center on sesame’s ritual status: tila seeds are used in Hindu offerings to ancestors, purification rites, and seasonal observances. Tilā and Thila are transliteration-based variants in Indic contexts, while similar European short forms of Matilda or Otilia are separate homonyms. In U.S. birth records, Tila remains rare, with a small peak in 2008 followed by lower use.
