What does the name Tyren mean?
Tyren is a spelling of Tyrone, pronounced the same way, so it shares Tyrone's meaning and origin.
Tyrone comes from County Tyrone in Northern Ireland, whose Irish name Tír Eoghain means "land of Eoghan", after an early Irish king; Eoghan is related to the name Owen. Tír Eoghain was also a medieval Gaelic kingdom. The name became familiar as a first name through the American actor Tyrone Power (1914–1958), who was named after an Irish actor ancestor, and it later became well established in the US, particularly among African American families.
