Tylor
Meaning of Tylor
The masculine given name Tylor constitutes an orthographic variant of the more common Taylor, itself rooted in the Middle English occupational surname for a tailor—deriving via Old French tailleur (“cutter”) from the Vulgar Latin *taliare (“to cut”). Pronounced /ˈtaɪlər/ in English, Tylor has maintained a modest but persistent presence among male births in the United States, first entering the Social Security Administration’s top-1,000 list in 1964 (five occurrences, rank 662) and reaching its highest incidence in 2000 with 331 registrations (rank 518). Since then, its usage has gradually receded, most recently registering 14 occurrences in 2024 (rank 910), a pattern that reflects both the broader ebb and flow of surname-derived given names in Anglo-American naming conventions and the appeal of a distinctive spelling that preserves the original semantic and phonological qualities of its etymon.
