What does Tallulah mean?
/təˈlu.lə/3 syllables

Tallulah is best known from Tallulah Falls and the Tallulah Gorge in northeast Georgia, a name of Native American origin, variously traced to Muscogee or Cherokee, that predates its use as a given name. It became popular as a first name in its own right in the 20th century, largely through the actress Tallulah Bankhead, who was named for her grandmother.

Tallulah has a rolling, musical sound - dramatic and a little glamorous, it suits a companion with real stage presence.
