Help with meanings
Can anyone help me with the meanings of these names? Some of them I have an idea of, so I'll post that when I know. All are male (or possibly unisex).Savion (poss Hebrew name of a plant)
Semaj (other than James backwards I have no clue)
Shamar/Shemar (???)
Soren (scandinavian or dutch of some sort)
Stephon (some form of Stephen I'm sure)
Syed (arabic??)Tahj/Taj (???)
Tarik/Tyrek/Tyreke/Tyrique (related to Tariq?)
Tavian/Tavion (somewhere I heard Irish "hillside"?)
Tevin (I have it relating to Thomas from somewhere?)
Trae/Tre (just more versions of Trey I presume? English?)
Travon/Trevin/Trevion/Trevon/Treyvon (English? "fair town"? somehow relating to Trevor or Travis??)
Trever (just a form of Trevor?)
Treyton (related to Trey? something about a town?)
Tristian (related to Tristan? a play on Tristan/Christian?)
Troy (I know it's a Greek place name, but beyond that?)
Turner (probably some sort of occupational name, right?)
Tyquan (from somewhere I have this is relating to John)
Tyree (from somewhere I have Gaelic "land")
Tyreese/Tyrese (???)
Tyron (related to Tyrone?)
Tyshawn (contemporary created name from Shawn?)Also, are these just the same as the English word, or is there mroe to them? Sincere, Stone, Talon
I hope that's not too many for one post! Any help would be appreciated

the t-namesTahj/Taj: Hindu name meaning 'crown' (the Taj Mahal is a well-known palace)
Tarik/Tyrek/Tyreke/Tyrique: all spelling variations of TariqTavian/Tavion: 3 possibilities:
1) Irish, from the word teeve , meaning 'hillside'
2) Latin, meaning 'eighth'
3) Scottish, meaning 'twin', like TavioTevin: either African boy name or a variation of the Irish Tavion (thus meaning 'hillside'); one site also said it was a form of Kevin, but i don't take that seriously)Trae/Tre: yes, i also think a form of Trey/Tray, meaning 'third born'
Travon/Trevin/Trevion/Trevon/Treyvon: either form of Trevor or abbreviation of Trevelyan, meaning 'fair town'
Trever: when English, it's a form of Trevor; when origin French, it's a variant on the Old French name TravisTreyton: variants include Trayton, Traton, Tratton and Tritten (as surnames) and the meaning is 'town full of trees' (from a placename indeed)Tristian: a variant of Tristan
Troy: either from the Greek/Turkish placename (the English form) or an Irish name meaning 'foot-soldier'
Turner: from the surname Turner (try http://surnames.behindthename.com)Tyquan: seems to me as a made-up name or else i don't know
Tyree: from a Gaelic word meaning 'island dweller' (also the name of an island for the coast of Scotland)
Tyreese/Tyrese: see the database for Tyrese
Tyron: yes, presumably a form of Tyrone
Tyshawn: apparently, Tyshan, Tyshaun, Tyshawn and Tysean are surnames, but probably a combination of Ty and various forms of SeanSincere: from the Latin word sincerus , meaning 'honest, true', but also 'not died (painted)', 'natural', 'pure', 'unmixed'.

extra note...about Tyshaun: i read that Tyrone was from the Irish words tir eoghuain meaning 'land of Owen' and so i thought, it being a surname, that it might mean 'land of Shaun' (and the same for all the other variations). Just a thought.
