Tiger is English, Greek, Iranian in Origin.
Tiger is an English vocabulary name taken from the animal term. English tiger continues Middle English tigre, through Old French and Latin tigris, from Greek tigris, the earliest classical form used for both the striped cat and the Tigris River. Greek probably borrowed the word from an Iranian source, often compared with Avestan tigri- sharp or pointed, though the animal name’s exact pre-Greek history is not fully secure. As a name, its literal sense is tiger.
In personal naming, Tiger belongs mainly to modern English animal names, more familiar as a nickname than as a traditional baptismal name. It appears in public life through figures such as American golfer Tiger Woods, born Eldrick, whose nickname helped make the word-name recognizable. Related forms include Tyger, a literary spelling associated with William Blake’s poem The Tyger, and cognates such as Latin Tigris and Armenian Tigran. Contemporary use remains uncommon and mostly masculine.
