Meaning & Story
Tyrion is a fictional name invented by author George R.R. Martin for the character Tyrion Lannister in the A Song of Ice and Fire fantasy novel series and the HBO television adaptation Game of Thrones. The name may be inspired by the ancient Greek city of Tyre or possibly contains the Greek element tyr meaning will or strength. In the story, Tyrion is famous for his wit, intelligence, and survival against enormous odds.
Tyrion is a name for a male companion with a personality far larger than whatever body he inhabits. Whether your pet is a tiny Dachshund who rules the house with absolute authority or a scrappy rescue who has clearly outsmarted everyone who underestimated him, Tyrion fits a companion known for cleverness, humor, and an indomitable spirit. The Game of Thrones connection will earn immediate recognition from fans, and the name has a genuine ring to it that stands on its own even without the reference. A name for a legend.
