Tyvon is in Origin.

Tyvon is a modern American given name, chiefly found in African-American communities. It appears to be a creative blend of the lively prefix Ty - familiar from Tyler, Tyrone, and Tyson - and the fashionable -von ending seen in Devon, Javon, and Lavon. Despite superficial resemblance, it is not etymologically tied to the German nobiliary particle von. As a contemporary coinage, Tyvon carries no single inherited meaning; any semantics follow from its components (e.g., Tyler “tiler,” Tyrone “land of Eoghan,” Devon from the English county), but most parents favor it for its crisp, dynamic sound.

U.S. records show sporadic use from the late 20th century, with modest peaks in the 1990s-2000s; NFL player Tyvon Branch has helped place the name in wider view. Variants and stylizations include Tyvonn, Tyvonn, Ty'Von, and Tyvonne; related forms are Tevon, Tavon, and Trevon. Common pronunciation: TIE-von.
