Tychicus is an infrequent, yet notable male given name of Greek origin. It translates to "speedy" or "happy" in Latin. This name first gained recognition through its appearance in the New Testament of the Bible. Tychicus was a companion of Saint Paul the Apostle and served as his messenger on various occasions. Notably, he is mentioned by Paul in his epistles to the Colossians (Colossians 4:7) and to Philemon (Philemon 1:23), providing early historical context for this distinctive name.
"Tychicus had a peak in popularity during the late 90s to early 2000s, with six births recorded both in 1996 and 2000. However, it appears that this name's usage has since declined, as indicated by the total of 28 births over these five years."
