Taylor

Taylor is a gender-neutral name of French origin. It was originally used as an occupational name for a "tailor" who cut cloth.

Nowadays, Taylor is used as a namesake for girls and boys worldwide. With the success of recording artist Taylor Swift, the name has increased in popularity, especially for little girls. If you’re interested in fashion or want to honor your favorite singer, Taylor is a striking name for baby that stands out.
