Cutlir is a modern respelling of Cutler, an English occupational surname for a maker or seller of knives. The surname entered Middle English from Old French coutelier (“cutler”), itself from Late Latin cultellarius, built on cultellus, a diminutive of culter “knife, blade.” As a given name, Cutler surfaced in North America with the late‑20th‑century wave of surnames-as-first-names; the sleeker i spelling Cutlir remains rare but intelligible and shares the same meaning: “knife maker” or “bladesmith.”

Variants include Cutler, Cutlar, and Coutelier (French). Short forms like Cully or Lir work as nicknames; the name reads gender‑neutral in contemporary use. Parents drawn to crisp, craft-centered meanings and sharp consonants may appreciate Cutlir’s minimalist twist, though its rarity may require occasional spelling clarification.
