Boys Names P Through T

As Tyler has begun to recede, a number of parents, including the Wayne Gretzkys, have cut straight to the livelier short form.

A name with a number of variations including the Danish Tyge, the Swedish Tyko, and the Dutch Tygo, which are popular throughout modern Europe. Tycho was the name of a Greek saint and the Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe.

The presidential Tyler rocketed up popularity charts in the late 1980s and early 1990s (it ranked Number 9 for that entire decade), along with cousin Taylor, becoming almost pandemic across the land-- and to make matters more confusing, both (especially Taylor) have been used for girls as well.

Tymek is a masculine name of Polish origin, functioning as a diminutive of Tymoteusz, the Polish form of Timothy. The name derives from the Greek 'Timotheos,' meaning 'honoring God' or 'honored by God.' In Poland, Tymek serves as both a nickname and standalone name, appreciated for its friendly, approachable quality. The name has grown in popularity within Poland in recent decades as part of a trend toward traditional names with modern-feeling diminutive forms. Outside Poland, Tymek remains distinctive and uncommon. The name's combination of cultural authenticity and contemporary sound appeals to parents seeking Polish heritage connections or simply a unique name with established roots and clear pronunciation.
