Origin and diffusion
It is derived from the ancient Greek name Τυχων (Tychon); according to some sources it would be based on the verb τυγχανω (tynchano, "hit in the sign", "having success"), while others lead it back to the term τυχη (tyche, "luck").

In Greek mythology, Ticone was a deity associated with Priapo, as well as an epithet of Ermes; however, the name is mainly remembered for being brought by St Ticone, a Cypriot bishop who worked to eradicate the cult of Aphrodite from the island. The spread in Italy, dependent on the fame of this saint, is however very poor.

Onomaly
The name can be celebrated in memory of the aforementioned Saint Ticone, bishop of Amatunte of Cyprus and patron of the bakers, commemorated on June 16.
