Tavila

Tavila is a surname of Sephardic Jewish origin. It is believed to derive from the Hebrew word "tov," meaning "good." The surname may have originated as a descriptive name for a person considered to be good or kind, or alternatively, a shortened form of a longer name containing the element "tov." The name and its variants can be found in various Sephardic communities historically located in Spain, Portugal, and later, throughout the Mediterranean, the Americas, and other parts of Europe following the expulsion from Spain in 1492. The name may appear with slight variations in spelling depending on the region and language.
