(Explained)"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I\u2019ve seen several debates on social media about whether Tyrone is a typically African American first name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their replies are usually based on the people they know by that name. This review tries to be more objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I combed through recent high school yearbooks to find that Tyrone is highly likely to belong to African American students (you may be shocked by the percentage!<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back to people born in the 1960s and 70s, financial studies estimate that sixty percent of those named Tyrone were African American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historic census records show that Tyrone was less common in black families in the late 1800s and early 1900s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
