Of Tyre; strength or rock
Tyrus is a Latinized form of the Greek name Tyros, referring to a person from the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre. The city's name itself is derived from a Semitic word meaning 'rock,' symbolizing strength and endurance. While sometimes associated as a variant of Tyler or Tyrone, it has a distinct historical lineage of its own.
