Meaning & origin
Tytus is a modern respelling of the ancient Roman name Titus, first appearing in U.S. birth records in 1976. It reached its highest rank of 2,884 in 2012, but has since fallen in usage, declining after 2015. The name remains rare, with only about 1 in 39,723 boys receiving it in 2025. Its top states of use are Tennessee and Texas, suggesting a concentration in the southern United States. While some parents may appreciate its assertive sound or connection to the biblical and imperial name, Tytus remains an uncommon choice, offering a distinctive alternative to more traditional variants.
Tytus is a variant spelling of Titus, a Latin praenomen (personal name) of uncertain etymology. It may be related to Latin 'titulus' meaning 'title of honor' or have Etruscan roots. The name Titus was borne by a Roman emperor and appears in the New Testament. The variant Tytus emerged primarily as a modern respelling, occasionally used in the United States since the 1970s.
