Sayer

Meaning of Sayer

Sayer is a warm, two-syllable name with Old French and medieval English roots—literally “one who speaks” or “truth-teller”—and its crisp pronunciation (/ˈseɪər/) feels both modern and timeless. Though it hovers just inside the U.S. top 1,000 (with around six to ten newborns each year), that gentle rarity makes it all the more special, striking a perfect balance between uncommon and unwieldy. Parents who choose Sayer imagine a child with a storyteller’s spark: a confident voice that weaves tales by the fireside or offers a steady word of encouragement at just the right moment. In an Anglo-American tradition that values clear expression and heartfelt connection, Sayer invites every little boy who bears it to embrace his own truth and share it boldly with the world.
