Meaning & origin

Teighlor is a modern, feminine respelling of Taylor, a name that has seen widespread use in English-speaking countries as both a surname and given name. The name Teighlor first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990, and reached its highest usage in 1992, before entering a steady decline that began the following year. As of 2025, it remains a rare choice, reflecting a broader trend toward customized spellings of familiar names. Because the name has never entered the top 1000, it retains a distinctive character suited to parents seeking an uncommon but recognizable name.

Teighlor is a modern respelling of Taylor, which is derived from the Old French 'tailleur' meaning 'cutter' or 'tailor', referring to a person who sews clothing. The name was used as a surname in medieval England and later became popular as a given name for both boys and girls, especially in the United States. Teighlor emerged in the late 20th century as a creative spelling variant during a trend of unique and personalized name forms.
