I think it is a fascinating coincidence that the first person with Tyrone as a given name in the USA census was a Black man in 1800, given that it became such a Black-identified name in the 20th century. Tyrone seems to have been well-used by Black parents in the Caribbean and the UK as well as in the USA.
