Meaning and history
Tyron is a modern English spelling variant of Tyrone. Tyrone comes from the name of County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, from Irish Tír Eoghain, meaning “land of Eoghan.” The personal name Eoghan has an uncertain deeper etymology. The place-name surname later entered given-name use, especially in English-speaking countries. Notable bearers include German professional boxer Tyron Zeuge and South African rugby player Tyron Smith.
Tyron moved from #887 to #906 for boys between 1999 and 2001. Its highest annual birth count came in 1990, with 202 births.
