Taylah

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Taylah: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2008.

Taylah is a modern, phonetic variant of Taylor, derived from the Old French "tailleur," meaning "to cut," and originally denoting someone who worked as a tailor. Famous bearers include Taylah Tsitsikronis, an Australian actress known for *Neighbours*, and Taylah Montebruno, an Australian rugby league player. While there are no prominent places directly named after its bearers, the root surname Taylor has given its name to countless places worldwide, such as Taylor, Texas. This spelling, popularised in the late 20th century, reflects a broader trend of creative phonetic naming, particularly in Australia and Scotland, where it has steadily gained traction among parents seeking a feminine twist on a classic occupational surname.
