A American name gently fading from the charts.
Tyshawn is a boy's and girl's baby name of American origin, a creative blend of Ty- (from names like Tyler or Tyrone) and Shawn, the anglicized Irish form of Sean meaning 'God is gracious.'
Tyshawn has the strong, rhythmic quality of compound names that combine a punchy prefix with a familiar base. With over 5,000 recorded U.S. births, it's been a consistent choice in African American communities for its bold, two-syllable energy.
Tyshawn was #938 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #3442, but its charm endures.
