Tyree
Girl / Boy name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tyree: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 4 births in 1998.
Tyree holds both Scottish and Irish roots, evolving from the Gaelic surname Mac an Tuathail, meaning "son of the ruler" or "son of the people," drawing from "tuath" for tribe or territory. It also shares a modern connection with the Isle of Tyree in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, known for its stunning white beaches and rich Gaelic heritage, though the island’s name likely derives from a different Gaelic source meaning "land of grain." A famous bearer is American basketball player Tyree Wilson, though the name remains relatively rare. Notably, Tyree shares its spelling with the Scottish island of Tiree, often anglicized as Tyree, giving it a subtle geographical charm for those seeking a name with a quiet link to Scotland’s west coast.
