An uncommon Old Norse pick — distinctive and rare.
IUPAC 3-letter abbreviation of tyrosine
Tyr is a boy's baby name of Old Norse origin, from the Norse god Tyr, the one-handed god of law, justice, and war. Tyr bravely placed his hand in the mouth of the wolf Fenrir as a pledge, knowing it would be bitten off — an act of supreme courage and sacrifice that gave him his eternal association with heroic honor. Tuesday is named after him.
Tyr climbed 7365 spots in the last 20 years — from #9880 to #2515.
