Girl
Tyra
The name Tyra carries the meaning "Scandinavian, from the Norse god Tyr", with roots in Norse. It is not as common as it was in the 1990s, though it has not disappeared. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
