Tylors

Tylors is a surname of English origin that appears as a less common variant of the surnames Taylor and Tyler. These names themselves derive from the medieval occupational term for a tailor, historically written in various spellings as taillier or tailor. The form Tylors likely arose through phonetic spelling and regional pronunciation shifts in England, with the s-ending representing a plural or possessive form that later persisted as a family name. Over time, bearers of the surname Tylors emigrated to other English-speaking regions, contributing to its occasional appearance in North American and other diaspora records.
