Tiebout Origin and Meaning

The name Tiebout is a boy's name.

Tiebout is a masculine name with likely French or Dutch origins. It appears to be a variant of Thibaut, Theobald, or Thibault, which derive from the Germanic elements 'theud' meaning 'people' and 'bald' meaning 'bold' or 'brave.' Historically, it was popular in medieval France and the Low Countries. Tiebout is extremely rare in modern usage, making it a highly distinctive choice. The name has an aristocratic, historic feel that evokes European heritage. Its pronunciation might vary (roughly 'tee-boo' or 'tee-bout'), which could present a minor challenge but also adds to its character. For those seeking a name with historical depth and uncommon status, Tiebout offers a sophisticated alternative to more common traditional names.
