Tikhon is of Russian origin, derived from the Greek word 'Tikhonos', which means 'calm' or 'tranquil'. It was initially used by the early Christians as a reference to the Sea of Galilee being calm when Jesus walked on water. In Russia, Tikhon has been traditionally used for both males and females since the Middle Ages. However, it's more commonly associated with men today.
"The name Tikhon has seen a consistent increase in popularity over the past six years, with a notable spike in births from 2016 to 2020."
