| FOR REAL: Tyrone's popularity in the USA comes mainly from Tyrone Power (1914-1958), an actor known for his swashbuckling characters in films popular in the 1930s, the name having appeared for the first time in the general populace of the USA in 1937. Tyrone Power (aka Ty Power)'s father was also an actor, and also named Tyrone Power. Power's great grandfather was also named Tyrone Power. Aside from this family, though, the name had never had any popularity. Tyrone is the name of a county in Northern Ireland. It's an anglicization of Tír Eoghain, which means "Eoghan's land." | |||||
