Tryone
Meaning of Tryone
Originating from Ireland, the name Tyrone is a strong and masculine choice for a baby boy. It is derived from the Irish surname Ó Tir Eoghain, which means "descendant of Eoghan's land." In terms of pronunciation, both British and American English speakers pronounce it as TRY-own ('traɪən' in British English and 'traɪoʊn' in American English). Variations of the name include Tyron and Tyrone.
Looking at the data for newborns in the United States, we can see that Tyrone was quite popular in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1960s and 1970s. Its popularity has since declined but remains a classic choice for parents who appreciate its Irish heritage and strong sound.
