Tyondai is a modern American given name, often associated with African-American naming traditions that favor inventive blends and musical cadence. Built on the popular prefix Ty- combined with the uncommon ending -ondai, it does not have a documented meaning in a specific source language; many treat it as a distinctive, expressive coinage rather than an etymological derivative. Some bearers connect "Ty" to familiar names like Tyler or Tyrone, but this is an influence, not a strict origin.

The name has been rare in official statistics, surfacing from the late twentieth century onward and gaining its highest visibility via composer and performer Tyondai Braxton. It remains outside the U.S. Top 1000. Variant spellings sometimes seen include Tyondae, Tyonday, Tiondai, Ty’ondai, and the stylized Tyondé; short forms include Ty and Dai. Usage skews masculine, though the structure supports unisex use.
