Meaning

One of the oldest English names that has been recorded in the U.K., Tyler was an occupational last name for brick and tile makers and layers, or those who built houses. The English-speaking world turned it into a baby boy’s name in the late 19th century. Some parents like to shorten it to Ty. Cute, yet strong and solid, Tyler is a wonderful option for your son.
