This street was originally Auday Street, laid out in 1869 for N. P. Sawyer as part of the borough of Ashchenaz.

Auday Street was the "A" street in an alphabetical sequence of street names in Sawyer's plan that went from A to P, along with a few additional streets that did not fit into the sequence. From south to north, the Ashchenaz plan included the following parallel streets:

Name in Ashchenaz plan	Modern name
[Berry Avenue]	Tyndall Street
Auday Street	Tybee Street
Brooks Street	Newcomer Street
Case Street	Emporia Street
Dithridge Street	Adon Street
Eberhardt Street	Adon Street
Eichenlaub Street	Hoover Street
Forward Street	Vania Way
Golden Street	Mutual Street
[Dierst Street]	Sutherland Street
[Volmer Street]	Humphrey Street
Hartley Street	Fuller Way
[Walton Street]	Pritchard Street
Irwin Street	Fairdale Street
Jenks Street	Furman Way
Kaercher Street	Faulkner Street
Leonard Street	Trout Way
[Howe Avenue]	Tweed Street
Mercer Street	Stroud Way
Norris Street	Stanhope Street
Osmond Street	Bellevoir Way
Pitcairn Street	Faust Street
[Kerfoot Avenue]	Ashtola Way

In 1880 Ashchenaz was re-subdivided by Andrew Patterson and renamed Sheridan (later spelled Sheraden). In this new plan, the former Auday Street became 10th Street. See Faust Street for more about Sheraden's formerly numbered streets. (Note that they were not numbered in the same order as the alphabetical sequence in the Ashchenaz plan.)

The borough of Sheraden was annexed to the city of Pittsburgh in 1907. Its numbered streets conflicted with the numbered streets downtown and in the Strip District, so they were renamed the next year, and 10th Street became Turbett Street.

Turbett Street was renamed Tybee Street in 1925.
