Decade-level aggregation shows that Tawni performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 567 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Tawni shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 392 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Utah and Washington. In total, SSA state-level files list Tawni in 12 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tawni in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,876 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
