History & Origin

Tyress is a respelling of Tyrese, an American coinage from the Ty- prefix that flourished in Black American naming. The Tyrese sound spread widely, and parents rendered it several ways, including this doubled-s form. Tyress first appears in United States birth records around 1974 and touched a small high around 2000.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year even at its peak. A Tyress from that high would be in his mid-twenties now; parents drawn to the sound usually choose the standard Tyrese.

Did you know? Tyress shares its sound with Tyrese, a name lifted to fame by singer and actor Tyrese Gibson, though this spelling stayed a quiet variant.
