What does the name Tyra mean?
Tyra comes from the Old Norse name Þýri, says Behind the Name, a variant of the Norse names Þórví or Þórveig. It adds that the name’s use among English speakers, especially African Americans, may come partly from the Swedish name, and that it is probably also seen as a feminine form of Tyrone or Tyree. Behind the Name names Tyra Banks as a famous bearer.
Tyra nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name lists Thyra as the Swedish variant and the Danish form, with Þórveig, Þórví and Þýri as the Old Norse ancestors. Wikipedia lists Thyra in its see-also list as well. Tyra is short enough that most bearers use it as it is.
Some famous Tyras
Tyra Banks, born December 4, 1973, is an American model, television personality, producer and businesswoman. Wikipedia says she began modeling at 15, was the first African American woman on the covers of GQ and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and was a Victoria’s Secret Angel from 1997 to 2005. She also acted in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1993.
Tyra through the decades
Tyra never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart has it in the top 1,000 in 31 years between 1964 and 2007, best at 319th in 1998, and it last ranked 947th in 2007. It ranked 61st in Sweden in 2025 and last ranked 862nd in England and Wales in 2010.
Did you know?
Wikipedia lists Tyra of Denmark, a 10th-century Danish princess who died in 1000 AD, and Tyra Kleen, a Swedish artist who lived from 1874 to 1951. Fictional Tyras include Tyra Collette on Friday Night Lights and Tyra Ragnarsdottir in The Last Kingdom book series.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Tyra is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Tyra on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
