Twana

Meaning of Twana

Twana is like that first raindrop of a hopeful monsoon—carrying the gentle whisper of the Skokomish people, who named themselves the “lake people” in their Salish tongue—into the wider world. Pronounced TWAN-uh (/twɑnə/), she made a quiet debut on U.S. birth charts in the late 1930s and spent decades playfully nesting between the 600s and 800s before drifting off in the mid-1990s, always rare enough to feel like hidden saffron threads in a bubbling biryani. With each soft syllable, Twana conjures images of shimmering lagoons, lotus petals afloat at dawn and a peacock’s plume dancing in a warm breeze. For parents dreaming of a name that blends earthy roots, adventurous spirit and an undercurrent of water-bound wisdom, Twana arrives as a delightful surprise—warm, resonant and brimming with story even before she’s spoken.
