Census
Tyronda in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 398 people with the first name Tyronda, which placed it at #24,271 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

Ancestry and ethnicity for Tyronda
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tyronda is Black at 96.5%. The next largest groups are White (1.3%) and Two or More Races (1.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself.
The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Tyronda described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Tyronda at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Tyronda
The name Tyronda is believed to have originated from the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy between the 8th and 3rd centuries BC. It is thought to be derived from the Etruscan word "tyranos," meaning "lord" or "ruler," and the feminine suffix "-da."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tyronda can be found in a collection of Etruscan inscriptions dating back to the 5th century BC. These inscriptions, found in the ancient city of Cerveteri, mention a woman named "Tyronda Caelius" who is believed to have been a prominent figure in the local community.
During the Roman era, the name Tyronda appears to have been relatively uncommon, but it resurfaced in the Middle Ages, particularly in Italy and Spain. One notable figure from this period was Tyronda of Castile (1210-1278), a Spanish noblewoman and courtier who served as a lady-in-waiting to Queen Berenguela of Castile.
In the Renaissance period, the name Tyronda gained some popularity among Italian nobility. One prominent example is Tyronda Medici (1458-1519), a member of the influential Medici family of Florence, who was known for her patronage of the arts and her support of the Italian Renaissance.
Later, in the 17th century, the name Tyronda was adopted by a few English families, although it remained relatively rare. One notable figure from this period was Tyronda Fairfax (1634-1690), an English writer and poet who was part of the literary circle around John Dryden.
Another historical figure who bore the name Tyronda was Tyronda Rousseau (1712-1778), a French philosopher and writer who was a contemporary of Voltaire and Diderot. She is best known for her work on education and her advocacy of women's rights.
While the name Tyronda has never been particularly common, it has persisted throughout history, often associated with individuals of noble or intellectual standing. Its Etruscan roots and associations with lordship and rulership have contributed to its enduring appeal as a unique and distinctive name.

FAQ
Tyronda: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tyronda?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 502 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tyronda going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 682,778 US residents.
Is Tyronda a common name?
We classify Tyronda as "Very Rare". It ranks above 84.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 540 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tyronda most popular?
The single biggest year for Tyronda was 1979, when 81 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tyronda is about 44 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Tyronda in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 398 people with the name Tyronda, or 0.13 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #24,271 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Tyronda in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Tyronda?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Tyronda leans strongly female. 398 people counted with this name were female (98.8%), compared with 5 male bearers (1.2%). The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Tyronda?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Tyronda is Black at 96.5%. The next largest groups are White (1.3%) and Two or More Races (1.3%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Tyronda most often in the Census?
Black is the largest reported group for people named Tyronda in the 2020 Census, accounting for 96.5% (384 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tyronda in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tyronda a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tyronda in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Tyronda still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tyronda in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tyronda can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate.
