Tula
Meaning of Tula
Tula is a succinct, three-syllable name of intriguing cross-cultural heritage that has quietly persisted in English-speaking countries. Pronounced TOO-luh (/ˈtuːlə/), it appears in Sanskrit lexicons—where its root conveys notions of balance or equilibrium—as well as in Zuni mythology, where Tula is remembered as a protector spirit of corn and agriculture. In Europe it surfaces occasionally as a diminutive of Latin-derived Tullia or as a Russian feminine form, lending it a subtle classical resonance. In the United States, Tula has hovered in the lower half of the top 1,000 since the early 2000s—registering roughly 25 to 40 newborns annually and ranking near 921st in 2024—underscoring its appeal to parents seeking a name that is at once concise, historically layered and gently unconventional.
