		Tiwaz or Tyr is a Teutonic deity. Tuesday is derived from it. Tiwaz is the one-handed god of war. He is also the god of law and justice (in war), and represents strength, bravery and boldness. 
 
Why this nick? When I was in elementary school I wrote a paper about Teutonic (Germanic) gods. The first time I needed a nick on the net I happened to remember it, thinking Tiwaz being quite uncommon yet nicely short, and having a nice ring to it. 
 
I have been using it ever since. Not many people know what it is or what it stands for.
