Tyler (name)
Tyler is an English name derived from the Old French tieuleor, tieulier and the Middle English tyler, tylere. The name was originally an occupational name for a house builder, one who lays tiles or bricks. It also holds the meaning of "doorkeeper of an inn" or "owner of a tavern" derived from its use in freemasonry as the name of the office of the outer guard. It is used both as a surname, and as given name for both sexes, but predominantly male. Among the earliest recorded uses of the surname is from the 14th century: Wat Tyler of Kent, South East England.
