History & Origin

Tyerra reworks Tierra, the Spanish for 'earth' or 'land,' with a Ty- spelling in the inventive style of nineteen-nineties American naming. Word-names drawn from nature and from Spanish vocabulary were popular in the period, and this is one of their rarer forms.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1995. A woman named Tyerra then is around thirty today, one of a small group carrying this earthy respelling.

Did you know? Behind Tyerra is the plain Spanish word tierra, 'earth' - the same root English speakers meet in 'terrain' and 'territory.'
