History & Origin

Tryson most likely reworks Tyson, an English surname from the Old French tison, 'firebrand,' long used as a byname for a spirited person. Part of the two-thousands wave of -son boys' names alongside Grayson and Bryson, its added -r- is a modern flourish on an old, vivid root.

In the United States it stayed rare, given to only about fifteen boys a year even at its peak around 2009, with use into the twenty-tens. A boy named Tryson then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Tyson, and so Tryson, comes from the Old French tison, 'firebrand,' a nickname once given to someone hot-tempered or full of spark.
