Occupational word name

Sayler Origin and Meaning

The name Sayler is a boy's name.

Sayler is a masculine name that appears to be a modern occupational surname-turned-first-name, similar to the more common spelling Saylor. It derives from the Old English word for someone who makes sails or is a sailor. As a first name, Sayler follows the popular trend of using occupational surnames as given names, like Mason, Hunter, or Taylor. The distinctive spelling with a 'y' instead of 'i' gives it a contemporary edge. While still uncommon as a first name, Sayler has gained some traction in recent years, particularly in the United States, appealing to parents looking for names with a professional connotation that sound modern yet have historical roots.
