Kyrone as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Kyrone

What is the meaning of the name Kyrone ?

Kyrone is English, Irish in Origin.

Kyrone is best treated as a modern English respelling of Tyrone, the Irish place-derived male name. Its source is Irish Tír Eoghain, recorded as the name of the medieval Gaelic territory of the Cenél nEógain; tír is land or country, and Eoghain is the genitive of the personal name Eoghan. The literal sense is land of Eoghan, commonly anglicized as land of Owen.

The given name Tyrone entered English use through the Ulster county name and became familiar in the United States after actor Tyrone Power, whose family belonged to Irish theatrical circles. Kyrone appears much later; SSA data first register it in 1976, chiefly as a rare American spelling with the fashionable initial Ky- seen in Kyran and Kyron. The Greek explanation from kyrios is not supported by the name’s morphology.
