Tyshan is an unique and modern given name of African-American origin, derived from the Yoruba tribe's word "Oshun," which means "flowing waters." This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its distinctiveness and strong sound, often chosen by parents seeking a name that stands out while maintaining a cultural significance.
The name Tyshan experienced modest popularity with peaks in the late 80s and mid-90s, seeing over 6 births per year for several years during this period. However, it has since declined, with fewer than 7 births recorded in any given year after 2005.
