Meaning and history
Tylor is an English spelling variant of Tyler, a given name transferred from an occupational surname. Tyler comes from Middle English tiler or tylere, meaning a maker or layer of tiles. Like many English occupational surnames, it began as a description of a trade before becoming hereditary and later entering use as a first name. The spelling Tylor is uncommon but historically attested. Notable bearer Edward Burnett Tylor was an English anthropologist, though Tylor was his surname; prominent given-name examples are limited.
