Syler is a modern American name that first appeared in official records in 1998 and peaked in popularity in 2009. As of 2025, it ranks 6,143rd and is given to approximately 1 in 122,005 newborns.

The name's similarity to more established names like Tyler and Skyler likely accounts for its modest usage.
Syler is a modern American coinage, first recorded in 1998. It likely arose as a respelling or variant of Skyler, itself derived from the Dutch surname Schuyler, meaning "scholar." Alternatively, it may have been formed from the popular -er suffix combined with the sound of Kyle or Tyler. The name has seen occasional use, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s.
