Origin: Norse

Meaning: God, deity

Tyr is a boy's name of Norse origin. Meaning "god" and "deity," this name is a heavy-handed reminder of baby's old Norse heritage. It draws from the one-armed god of war and bringer of justice. This compelling figure inspired his earthly subjects to follow the laws of the land. He also offered wisdom and leadership, not to mention protection from a giant hound, which gobbled up his arm. Beyond the fierce persona, Tyr is destined for a resilient little one with a strong moral compass. Baby will be unstoppable at everything they put their mind to!
