Tyre is a masculine name of various origins and meanings, that go beyond the part of a wheel.

Tyre may also come from the word attire and the Old French word atirier, meaning “wardrobe.” Matching that creative, self-expressive tone, Tyre can also come from the Scottish name McIntyre, meaning “carpenter.” If you’ve got a love for ancient mythology and legend, Tyre may remind you of Tyr, the Norse god of war. For an extra historical touch, the moniker Tyre can connect your bundle of joy to the ancient Phoenician seaport city of Tyre, now found in present-day Lebanon. No matter where baby’s destiny takes them, the name Tyre can give them plenty of inspiration.
