Aww, what a sweet meaning.
This is very reminiscent of the disease, Typhoid (Typhoid Fever) which has since been eradicated in most parts of the developed world due to vaccine availability. This name could invite 'Typhoid Mary' teasing.

According to Thayer's Greek Lexicon, Tryphosa means "luxuriating" and Tryphena means "luxurious."
Tryphosa is definitely an interesting name. I don't care for it all. Reminds me of Tryptophan.
I much, *much* prefer the softer Tryphena.
This is a pretty name. I have a fondness for female Biblical names. I prefer the French form Tryphose, but this is nice too.
It's odd, but it has spunk and it's not something you see every day. There are also many potential nicknames that can be derived from Tryphosa.
Yikes. I don't like it. Perhaps because of its Greek origins and that "osa" part, it sounds like a disease.
Tryphosa was a Christian woman in Rome.
