Tyroon Origin and Meaning

The name Tyroon is a boy's name.

Tyroon is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant of Tyrone. Tyrone originated as the name of a county in Northern Ireland, derived from the Irish "Tír Eoghain," meaning "land of Eoghan." The additional 'o' in Tyroon creates a unique spelling while maintaining similar pronunciation. The name gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, partly due to actor Tyrone Power. Tyroon has a strong, distinctive sound with its emphasis on the second syllable. The unusual spelling gives this variant a modern twist on the more traditional Tyrone, appealing to parents looking for a familiar-sounding but uniquely spelled name.
