Kyler

Dutch
"archer"

Kyler Origin and Meaning

The name Kyler is a girl's name meaning "archer".

Used on a handful of girls every year since the 80s, Kyler provides an alternative for parents wanting something with the sounds or style of Skyler, Carter, Kaia, Kylie, and Kyla.

On one hand, Kyler can be seen as a modern invention, created by combining Kyle and Tyler together, and creating the meaning "tiler of roofs on the narrow spit of land".

Alternatively, Kyler could be an Anglicized form of the Dutch surname "Cuyler ", which may mean "hole, pit", "bowman, archer", "chapel", or "victory of the people" according to different translations.

Given to around 70 girls each year, Kyler is about as popular as Rorie, Karly, and Precious, but with Miller, Kya, and Denver rising upwards, perhaps the number of Kylers may increase.

Female Kylers include singer, dancer, and songwriter Kyler Kesick and fashion influencer Kyler Carter Powe.
