Tyronda
A girl's name with 540 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
When Tyronda hit its peak of 81 births in 1979, American naming was shifting away from mid-century classics toward more individualistic, expressive choices.

Tyronda is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Tyronda is a girl's baby name of African origin, a creative coinage combining the Ty- prefix with -ronda, crafted within African American naming traditions. The name carries the bold, rhythmic quality of names coined in the 1970s and 1980s, when the Ty- opening was a popular beginning for both masculine and feminine names.
Tyronda has a confident, three-syllable flow that moves quickly and decisively — a name that feels both strong and musical, embodying the creative naming spirit of its era.
