ArchivesRe: Trying to find the meaning of my daughter's name
in reply to a message by Anneza
I think the key is "confident that the name really is Swahili in origin." Many people make up an origin and meaning for a name, and I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case with this name, as Tyh- is not a combo of letter really used in Swahili.

I must admit, I'm sceptical too. And Tyh- isn't a letter combo I'd expect to see anywhere, really. But there are plenty of loan words in kiSwahili, so who knows? She might surprise us all.
