About Till
The modern name Till is in the German Top 100. Used in contemporary terms on its own, it's traditionally a short form of names beginning with Diet such as Deitrich, which is itself a form of Theodoric. Because of its English word equivalent, it's a bit slight to ever make it as a standalone name in the English-speaking world.
Fun fact: Till is a root of the Latinized name Thelonious, famous via jazz great Thelonious Monk.
Pronounced TIL.
As of October 2026, Till ranked #13998 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #4334 in 1915.
