Tyra is from the Old Norse Þýri — "Thor's warrior" — the feminine of the thunder god's name. Inducted as a Victoria's Secret Angel in 1997.
Subject of countless fashion industry histories.
Tyra does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Tyra reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
