Tycho

US Popularity Rank: 11406

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Fortunate, chance

Made with a little more mojo than most monikers, Tycho is a boy’s name of Latin origin, meaning “fortunate.” A twist on the Greek girl’s name Tyche, meaning “chance,” Tycho might have your little one looking to their name for a bit of luck every now and then! The name Tycho has ties to Greek mythology, too, and gets its meanings of great privilege and promise from Tykhe, the Greek goddess of chance. Often depicted with a crown and a cornucopia, she was said to have authorship over fortune and fate. But with a name like Tycho, destiny might be something baby decides.
