Tyson
Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tyson: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2020.
Originally an English surname, Tyson has two possible roots: it may derive from the Old French *tison* meaning "firebrand," evoking a fiery spirit, or from the Middle English *tye* meaning an enclosed piece of land. The name gained worldwide fame through Mike Tyson, the youngest heavyweight boxing champion in history, and more recently through British boxer Tyson Fury. The surname also lives on in place names like Tyson’s Corner in Virginia, and the name carries a strong, sporty image, though its softer etymology gives it a surprising layer of pastoral warmth. A notable variant is Tysone, but Tyson remains the standard, firmly tied to strength and determination.
