Tylor

Where Tylor comes from

Tylor hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1961
    First appearance
    #4,065 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.

    American actor
  3. 1991
    Tylor Ongwae born
    Kenyan basketball player
  4. 1993
    Peak, #417
    556 babies named Tylor — more than any year before or since.
  5. 2001
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #671.
