Tylor

Boy name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tylor: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2005.

Tylor is a modern spelling variant of Tyler, an occupational surname rooted in Old French *tieuleor*, meaning a tile-maker or one who lays tiles. The name was originally brought to Scotland and England after the Norman Conquest. Notable bearers include Tylor Cameron, an American actor and model, and Tylor Megill, a Major League Baseball pitcher. Though no major places are directly named after a Tylor, the root *tegula* (Latin for tile) echoes in place names like Tegal in Indonesia and the English town of Tyle. The spelling Tylor offers a slightly fresher twist on the classic Tyler, which surged in popularity after the 1990s. It’s a versatile choice, used for boys and occasionally girls, and carries the same sturdy, craft-oriented heritage as its original.
