History & Origin

Tyrae reads as a coined name rather than an inherited one, joining the fashionable Ty- prefix to a -rae ending, close in sound to Tyree. The Ty- opening drove dozens of coinages in its era, from Tyrell to Tyshawn. It appears in United States records from the late 1970s and reached a quiet high in the late 1990s, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.

A Tyrae from that late-1990s high is now in his twenties. It has stayed uncommon, but the bright Ty- sound remains current, keeping the name easy to say and firmly of the modern era.

Did you know? Tyrae belongs to a large family of Ty- boys' names that parents built through the late twentieth century, prizing the sharp, upbeat opening.
