Origin
Meaning and history of Tysier
The name Tysier is believed to have originated from the Old French language, deriving from the word "tisserand," which means "weaver." This suggests that the name may have been associated with the occupation of weaving during the Middle Ages in France.
Tysier likely emerged as a given name around the 12th or 13th century, when surnames based on occupations became more commonplace. It was primarily found in the northern regions of France, particularly in areas with a strong textile industry.
There are no known direct references to the name Tysier in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or significant historical records from that period. However, its connection to the weaving trade reflects the importance of textile production in medieval European societies.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Tysier was Jean Tysier, a French weaver who lived in the city of Lille in the late 15th century. Unfortunately, his exact birth and death dates are unknown, but records indicate his presence in Lille around 1480.
In the 16th century, a notable figure named Pierre Tysier (c. 1520 - 1585) was a French Protestant theologian and reformer from Rouen. He played a significant role in the spread of Calvinism in Normandy and was known for his writings and sermons.
During the 17th century, Tysier Delaroy (1595 - 1673) was a French mathematician and astronomer who made contributions to the study of celestial mechanics. He was born in Paris and worked as a professor of mathematics at the Collège Royal.
In the 18th century, Jacques Tysier (1703 - 1778) was a French architect and engineer who designed several notable buildings in Paris, including the Church of Saint-Philippe-du-Roule and the Hôtel de Brancas.
Another individual with the name Tysier was Edme Tysier (1760 - 1834), a French engraver and illustrator who was known for his intricate etchings and engravings of architectural subjects and landscapes.
While the name Tysier has French origins and was more prevalent in the past, it has become relatively uncommon in modern times. However, its connection to the weaving trade and the lives of notable individuals bearing this name serve as a testament to its historical significance.

FAQ
Tysier: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tysier?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tysier going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Tysier a common name?
We classify Tysier as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tysier most popular?
The single biggest year for Tysier was 2021, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tysier is about 5 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tysier in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tysier a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tysier in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Tysier still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tysier in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tysier can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
