Meaning & origin
Tiras is a rare biblical name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1976. It reached a peak in 1999, though it has never ranked in the top 1000, indicating very low usage. The name has remained stable in frequency, without significant spikes or declines. As a son of Japheth in the Bible, Tiras carries a distinct if obscure biblical heritage. Its rarity makes it a unique choice for parents seeking a name with ancient roots but modern obscurity. Despite its biblical origin, Tiras has not been widely adopted in any particular religious or cultural community, and its top states list is empty, suggesting it appears sporadically across the country.
Tiras is a name that appears in the Bible as a son of Japheth (Genesis 10:2). It is of uncertain etymology, but some scholars suggest it may be related to a Hebrew root meaning 'desire' or 'to break.' The name has seen occasional modern use, particularly in the United States since the late 20th century, without strong ties to any particular culture outside of biblical tradition.
