Tyler is associated with the meaning “Tile-layer, roof-maker” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Tyler comes from an Old English occupational surname meaning "one who lays tiles" or "tile maker." The word derives from the Middle English "tyler," which referred to craftspeople who created and installed roof tiles, a skilled trade in medieval times. What started as a descriptor of a profession gradually transformed into a family surname, then eventually into a first name as naming conventions shifted across English-speaking cultures.
