History & Origin

Tyme is a modern word-name: the English 'time' given a decorative -y- spelling, with a side echo of the culinary herb thyme. It has no history as a traditional given name, and no inherited etymology attaches, so the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'TYME').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, modern, and word-styled.

Did you know? Tyme rides two words at once — 'time' and the herb 'thyme,' which sound identical. Neither is a traditional given name, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'TYME').
