Taylor Family History
Taylor Name Meaning
English and Scottish: occupational name for a tailor, from Old
French tailleur (Late Latin taliator, from
taliare ‘to cut’). The surname is extremely common in Britain
and Ireland, and its numbers have been swelled by its adoption as an
Americanized form of the numerous equivalent European names, most of
which are also very common among Ashkenazic Jews, for example
Schneider, Szabó, and Portnov.
