Tailor Origin and Meaning

The name Tailor is a girl's name.

Tailor is an occupational name that has transitioned to feminine usage in recent decades, though it remains relatively uncommon. Derived from the English word for a person who makes and alters clothing, it represents craftsmanship and attention to detail. This name follows the trend of professional surnames becoming given names, similar to Parker, Mason, and Cooper. The spelling reflects the traditional occupation rather than the variant 'Taylor,' which has become much more popular as a unisex name. Tailor carries connotations of precision, creativity, and artisanal skill. Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking something recognizable yet uncommon for their daughters.
