History & Origin

Tyton is a modern coinage that fuses the Ty- prefix with a -ton ending, landing close to Tyson and the mythic word Titan. Its appeal is that bold sound rather than a literal meaning, and it appeared only rarely in American records.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak around 2008. A boy named Tyton then is still young today.
