Tyran

Meaning of Tyran

As a masculine name, Tyran offers a fresh twist on familiar favorites like Tyrone and Taran, weaving together echoes of ancient Greek tyrannos—“lord” or “ruler”—and Welsh taran—“thunder”—into something sharply modern. Although it has never broken the Top 800 in the U.S., Tyran still pops up like a hidden gem—66 babies in 1978, 32 in 2015, and around 15 in 2024, when it settled near the 909th spot. Pronounced TY-ran (/ˈtaɪ.ræn/), this two-syllable name carries an undercurrent of quiet authority with just enough stormy charisma to make an entrance. No golden scepter needed—Tyran leads with character, compassion, and a wink that says greatness can grow from the unexpected. Perfect for a boy who dreams of charting his own course, Tyran feels both grounded and adventurous.
