Meaning and origin of Tyron
Tyron is an Irish and American (modern coinage) name that is usually said to mean “variant of Tyrone, land of Eoghan”.
Tyron is a spelling of Tyrone, from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland. The Irish name of the county is Tír Eoghain, "land of Eoghan," after Eoghan, a son of the legendary high king Niall of the Nine Hostages, whose descendants the O'Neills ruled the area for centuries. The county name became a given name in the twentieth century, and the actor Tyrone Power made it familiar in the US. Tyron drops the final e and is said TY-rohn. Ty is a natural nickname, and the two-syllable form feels brisk and modern.
