Rock or sharp
Derived from the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre, which is believed to mean 'rock' in reference to the rocky formation on which the city was originally built. It is also associated with the Aramaic word 'Tur' and the Hebrew 'Tzor'. In modern usage, it is often chosen for its strong, brief sound and historical weight.
