Tidus

Tidus Origin and Meaning

The name Tidus is a boy's name.

Tidus is a masculine name that gained recognition primarily through the popular video game 'Final Fantasy X,' where it belongs to the main protagonist. The game's creators derived it from the Okinawan word 'tida' meaning 'sun.' Despite its fictional origins, Tidus has gained modest real-world usage since the game's release in 2001. The name has a contemporary, distinctive sound with its short two-syllable structure (TIE-dus). While uncommon, it appeals to parents who appreciate its modern feel, unique quality, and possible connection to gaming culture. The name's association with a heroic character and its meaning connection to the sun give it positive connotations.
