Origin
Meaning and history of Tyvion
The name Tyvion is a relatively modern invention, likely stemming from a combination of the popular names Tyler and Davion. It does not appear to have any direct linguistic or cultural origins from ancient languages or civilizations.
Some speculate that Tyvion may have been inspired by the Old English name Taefion, which means "attractive one," but there is no clear historical evidence to support this connection. The earliest recorded use of the name Tyvion dates back to the late 20th century, primarily in the United States.
While the name Tyvion is not found in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records from previous eras, it has gained some popularity in recent decades. One of the earliest notable individuals with the name Tyvion was Tyvion McGee, an American football player who played college football at the University of Alabama in the early 2000s.
Another person named Tyvion was Tyvion Turner, an American professional basketball player who played in the NBA G League and overseas leagues in the late 2010s. Tyvion Williams, an American singer and songwriter, also gained recognition in the 2010s for his work in the R&B and pop genres.
Tyvion Sargent, an American football player who played college football at the University of Virginia in the late 2010s, and Tyvion Thompson, an American professional basketball player who played in various minor leagues in the 2010s, are also individuals who have contributed to the growing visibility of the name Tyvion.
It's worth noting that while these are some of the more prominent individuals with the name Tyvion, the name remains relatively uncommon overall, and its usage may continue to evolve and change over time.

FAQ
Tyvion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tyvion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 106 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tyvion 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 3,233,531 US residents.
Is Tyvion a common name?
We classify Tyvion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 65.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 107 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tyvion most popular?
The single biggest year for Tyvion was 2005, when 11 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tyvion is about 19 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 Tyvion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tyvion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tyvion 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 Tyvion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tyvion 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 Tyvion 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.
