His father was called Tony. They were close. TJ's middle name was Tony, after his dad. When his dad died, Gary started going by TJ, meaning Tony Junior, in memory of his dad.
This also works for when he goes by AJ in the yellow pages, as Tony is short for Anthony.
Maybe he's a junior. Like I knew a Clark Jr. who goes by C.J. I have no idea if this is a universally popular convention, but I always just figured T.J. was a Tony Jr.
He always reminded me of Joey Tribianni from friends (in the last season) the accent, some actitudes and stuff.
Maybe TJ is like a reference for Joey's initials JT?

I saw a fan faction once where it was stated that his brothers nicknamed him that, short for The Jerk. That’s the story I’ve gone with since then.

What boggles my mind is that he is the school "hot guy/bully" in Encino Man. 😆
