From the island of Tiree; land of corn
Tyree is a Scottish surname-turned-given name derived from the Inner Hebridean island of Tiree. The island's name is thought to come from the Gaelic 'Tir Iodh', meaning 'land of corn', referring to its fertile soil. It gained some popularity in the United States during the late 20th century as a rhythmic, modern-sounding choice.
