Tyronne Origin and Meaning

The name Tyronne is a boy's name.

Tyronne is a variant spelling of Tyrone, a name derived from the County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The place name comes from the Irish 'Tír Eoghain,' meaning 'land of Eoghan.' The doubled 'n' spelling represents a phonetic adaptation that became increasingly common in the mid-to-late 20th century. The original name Tyrone gained popularity in the United States partly through association with actor Tyrone Power (1914-1958). The variant spelling Tyronne follows a pattern of personalized orthographic adaptations while maintaining the same pronunciation. Usage statistics show Tyronne appearing less frequently than the standard Tyrone spelling, but it has maintained consistent usage since the mid-20th century. The name exemplifies how traditional place-based names can evolve through spelling variations.
