History & Origin
Shatyra adds the widely used Sha- opening to Tyra, a name of Scandinavian origin tied to the god Tyr. In practice the prefix carries the style and Tyra supplies a bold, familiar sound, making Shatyra a product of late-century inventiveness.
It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1993. As a prefix-plus-name coinage it draws its feel from Tyra and the Sha- fashion rather than from one older root.
