What does the name Tytus mean?
Tytus is a spelling of Titus, pronounced the same way, so it shares Titus's meaning and origin.
Titus is a Roman first name of unknown origin; DMNES calls it obscure and notes an Etruscan form Tite. Harrison (1918) thought it probably related to the Titans, and Wiktionary reports explanations such as "honorable" or "strong", none of them proven. Bearers include the Roman emperor Titus and Paul's companion Titus, to whom a New Testament letter is addressed. DMNES records it in England from 1573.
