Origin & History
Occupational surname derived from the Old French 'tailleur', itself from 'tailler' meaning 'to cut'. It was introduced to England by Norman settlers after 1066 and designated a tailor — someone who cut and sewed cloth for garments. The tailoring trade was one of the most widespread crafts in medieval England, accounting for the surname's exceptional frequency across the country.
