Taylor
Meaning of Taylor
Taylor zips in with the easy swagger of a denim jacket on a Delhi winter morning. Born from the Old French “taillour,” it first meant the humble tailor who cut cloth, but today the name feels more like a master stylist, snipping away labels of boy or girl—truly unisex. Pronounced TAY-luh or TAY-lur, Taylor has stitched its way up the American charts since the ’80s, peaking in the early 2000s like a Bollywood dance number hitting its high beat. Pop icons such as Taylor Swift and silver-screen legends like Elizabeth Taylor add sparkle, while everyday Taylors remind us that one can craft life’s fabric with equal parts grit and grace. In short, Taylor is a breezy, modern choice that fits as comfortably as a well-tailored kurta and leaves plenty of room for the wearer to grow into their own dazzling design.
