Zachary Taylor was our president. So I think that is why the name is popular
The boy's and girl's name Taylor is pronounced TAY-ler. It is of Middle English and Old French origin, and its meaning is "tailor; to cut." Occupational name. Made popular due to characters named Taylor on the soap operas "The Bold and the Beautiful", "All My Children", and "Melrose Place."
It is supposed to be a last name. I hate the trend of naming babies last names. Taylor is an example. Names that are city names are also annoying, esp. if the parents have never been to the city they are naming their kid. Go with something pretty for a girl, not trendy.

Taylor is derived from the French "tailleur", meaning a cutter, particularly of stone.
Tailor comes from the same root, as it refers to cutting the cloth, which was usually sewn by seamstresses. Any help?

Traditionally this is a surname. In recent times, particularly in the US, they have used this name as a first name. no real meaning.
