Tanyon, of Latin origin, is an uncommon given name for males. It is derived from the Roman family name 'Tannerius', which was occupational in nature and referred to someone who worked as a tanner or leather dresser. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare. Tanyon is not associated with any specific saint or religious figure, and it does not have any variations or related names that are widely recognized.

However, it seems to have fallen out of favor thereafter, as indicated by the decrease in births from 2007 onwards. Over these 13 years, there were a total of 151 babies named Tanyon.
