Tayler Origin and Meaning
The name Tayler is a girl's name.
Tayler is a feminine name that originated as an occupational surname meaning 'tailor' or 'one who makes clothes.' This modern spelling variation of Taylor gained popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s as part of the trend toward creative spellings of traditional names. The 'y' spelling gives the name a softer, more feminine appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Tayler represents the ongoing evolution of unisex names in English-speaking countries, though it's more commonly given to girls than boys. The name carries connotations of craftsmanship, creativity, and precision. Though less common than the standard Taylor spelling, Tayler appeals to parents seeking a familiar name with a distinctive twist.
