Tyrone

Tyrone is a masculine given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the name of the county of Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

The name Tyrone comes from the Irish Gaelic 'Tír Eoghain', which means 'the territory of Eoghain'. Eoghain was one of the ruling families of the ancient kingdom of Oirghialla, located in what is now part of Northern Ireland.

The name Tyrone gained popularity in English-speaking countries after the Norman conquest of Ireland in the 12th century. It has been a common name among Irish Catholics, particularly in Northern Ireland.

While the name Tyrone has Irish roots, it has also been used in other cultures and contexts over time. However, its primary meaning and origin trace back to the Irish county and kingdom of the same name.
