Meaning & History
From either 蔦 (tsuta), referring to the Boston ivy, or the stem of verb 伝う/傳う (tsutau) meaning "to go/walk along, to follow," the former likely related to that verb. It can also be written with a combination of a tsu kanji, e.g. 津 meaning "harbour, haven," and a ta kanji, e.g. 多 meaning "many."As a feminine name, it was most commonly used before the 20th century, though not nearly as common as the top female names of the late Edo period (1603-1868), e.g. Kiku. Nowadays, it is extremely rare.
