Taylor is English, Latin, Norman French, Old French in Origin.
Taylor began as an English occupational surname, recorded in Middle English as taillour or tailour after Anglo-Norman and Old French tailleur. The French word is an agent noun formed with -eur from taillier, to cut, ultimately from Late Latin taliare, a verb connected with Latin talea, a cutting or slip of wood. Its literal sense was a cutter of cloth, the trade term that produced the English word tailor.
As a family name, Taylor spread in medieval England after the Norman Conquest, identifying households by occupation rather than descent. Given-name use appears mainly in English-speaking countries, first for boys through surname inheritance and honorific family naming. In the United States, it rose sharply for girls in the late twentieth century, ranking in the Top 10 during much of 1993–2000; boys peaked lower. Tayler, Tailor, Taylour, and Tailour are spelling variants. Taylor Caldwell and Taylor Swift are prominent female bearers.
