Tyron

Tyron is a masculine given name that appears to be a variant spelling of Tyrone, which originated as a place name in County Tyrone, Ireland, deriving from the Irish 'Tír Eoghain,' meaning 'land of Eoghan.' This shorter spelling without the final 'e' has been in use since at least the mid-20th century. Usage records show Tyron appearing with increasing frequency from the 1950s onward in the United States, though it has generally been less common than the Tyrone spelling. The name saw modest popularity in the 1970s through 1990s. The simplified spelling may have emerged through natural phonetic adaptation, as the final 'e' in Tyrone is silent. While maintaining the same pronunciation as Tyrone, the Tyron variant offers a more streamlined spelling that aligns with how the name is actually pronounced.

Tyron is also given to girls.

Pronounced TY-run.

As of October 2026, Tyron ranked #15775 in US births in 1996 SSA, peaked at #9017 in 1975.
