[[File:Tiwaz rune.svg|thumb|right|The [[Tiwaz (rune)|''t''-rune]] takes its name from the deity.]]
The god is the namesake of the rune {{runic|ᛏ}} representing {{IPA|/t/}} (the [[Tiwaz rune]]) in the [[runic alphabets]], the indigenous alphabets of the ancient Germanic peoples prior to their adaptation of the [[Latin alphabet]]. On runic inscriptions, {{runic|ᛏ}} often appears as a magical symbol.{{Sfn|Simek|1996|p=420}} The name first occurs in the historical record as ''tyz'', a character in the [[Gothic alphabet]] (4th century), and it was also known as {{lang|ang|tī}} or {{lang|ang|tir}} in Old English, and {{lang|non|týr}} in Old Norse.{{sfn|Lehmann|1986|p=352}}{{Sfn|Simek|1996|p=336}} The name of {{lang|non|Týr|italic=no}} may also occur in runes as {{script|Runr|{{lang|non|ᛏᛁᚢᛦ|italic=no}}}} on the 8th century [[Ribe skull fragment]].<ref name=Schulte-2006/>
