The Story of Tytus
Tytus is the Polish form of Titus, a Latin given name of uncertain origin — possibly from the Oscan language meaning honorable, or from Greek titan meaning of the Titans or giant. Titus was a common praenomen in ancient Rome, borne by the Emperor Titus who oversaw the destruction of Jerusalem and the completion of the Colosseum.
Tytus is specifically a Polish form, used in Poland for centuries. Internationally, the Titus spelling is rising strongly in the US among parents attracted to short, powerful Roman names. The Tytus variant appeals to families of Polish heritage.
Titus was the name of several significant historical figures: Emperor Titus Vespasianus, the companion of Saint Paul in early Christianity (the Book of Titus in the New Testament), and the protagonist of Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy Titus Andronicus.
