Tylyr Origin and Meaning

The name Tylyr is a boy's name.

Tylyr is a modern variant spelling of the classic name Tyler, maintaining the same pronunciation while offering a distinctive appearance. The original name Tyler comes from an Old English occupational surname meaning 'tile maker' or 'tile layer.' This alternative spelling with 'y' letters reflects the contemporary trend of replacing traditional vowels to create unique versions of familiar names. While Tyler became extremely popular in the 1980s and 1990s, Tylyr remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a familiar-sounding name with a more individual spelling. The double 'y' gives this masculine name a slightly edgy, modern character while maintaining its professional and approachable nature.
