Tionne

Tionne is a given name used in English-speaking contexts. It is relatively uncommon and has been most prominently associated with the American singer-songwriter Tionne Watkins, who performs as T-Boz. Watkins is best known as a member of the R&B/hip-hop group TLC, which rose to international fame in the early to mid-1990s alongside Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas and the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. During TLC's peak years, the group released acclaimed and commercially successful albums such as CrazySexyCool (1994) and FanMail (1999). They produced hit singles including Waterfalls and No Scrubs, contributing to the group's enduring influence on 1990s pop and hip-hop music.

As a given name, Tionne does not have a widely documented etymology in major name dictionaries and is far less common than more established names. Outside of the singer, there are no widely recognized public figures with the name Tionne, and it is not associated with a specific place or organization.
