Tyrone Meaning

From the name of a county in Northern Ireland which is derived from Irish Gaelic Tir Eoghain meaning 'land of Eoghan '. This name was popularized by American actor Tyrone Power (1914-1958), who was named after his great-grandfather, an Irish actor. Tyrone is derived from the Celtic word 'tir', which means 'land'. The name is a shortened form of the Gaelic name 'Tir Eoghain', which means 'land of Eoghan'. The name 'Eoghan' itself means 'born of the yew'.
