Taylor Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Meaning, Origin, Etymology
The surname of Taylor is an English; occupational name from Ango-Norman French, Middle English taillour ‘tailor’ (Old French tailleor, tailleur) derives from the Old French word “tailleur” which can be translated to mean “a cutter-out of cloth.” ME. taillour AF. taillour, OF. tailleur, ‘the cutter, from OF. tailler, ‘to cut.’ in Latin documents rendered cissor. A very common name in early Scots records. This surname is occupational, meaning that it was given to someone who actually carried out the occupation of being a tailor. The surname being adopted from the medieval job description after the 12th century. As with other occupational surnames, it was first given to the original person who carried out this job, and then was passed on to the son if he also joined the same profession as his father. After this carry over, the surname became hereditary, meaning that it was passed down rather than actually corresponding with the occupation of the name bearer. The first recorded spelling of the surname of Taylor can be found in the country of England, in the late 12th century. One person by the name of Walter Taylur was named in the Canterbury Cathedral records. These records were ordered, decreed, and written under the reign of one King Henry II, who ruled from they year 1154 to the year 1189. Other mentions of this surname in the country of England include William le Taillur, who was mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of Somerset in the year 1182, while one Roger le Taylur was named in the Hundred Rolls of Lincolnshire in the year 1273. The Taylor surname was adopted for cognates and equivalent names in other European languages, such as Schneider and Szabo. There are several well-known variations on the most usual spelling-Taylor. They range through Tailer, Tayler or Taylour to Taylorson and Taylerson. References to the surname Taylor start appearing in the records from the twelfth century on. One of the earliest of these is in the Pipe Rolls for Somerset. In the records for the year 1182 one William le.Taillur appears. Here the Norman origin and the occupational derivation are well illustrated. Thespian Joseph Taylor was an Englishman mentioned in Shakespeare’s First Folio as one of the 26 actors who took principal parts in all those plays. Legend has it that the Bard himself coached Taylor in the role of Hamlet. The Taylor Standard Series is the method used to discover which characteristics of a ship’s hull govern its water resistance. Its inventor, David Watson Taylor, became a rear admiral in the US Navy and designed the first plane to fly the Atlantic (1919). John Henry Taylor (1871—1963) was one of ‘the great triumvirate’ (with Harry Vardon and James Braid) which won the British Open (golf) Championship 16 times between 1894 and 1914 (Taylor won five times). Later he was a founder and the first chairman of the British Professional Golfers’ Association. A.J.P. Taylor (b. 1906), prolific English historian, wrote the celebrated study Origins of the Second World War which is considered the definitive work on the subject. There are no Taylor-related places or major geographic features in the United Kingdom. Canada has a town called Taylor. The United States has 10 such towns as well as 5 Taylorsvilles, a Taylors, a Taylor Bridge and a Taylor Springs.

FAMILY HISTORY, ANTHONY TAYLOR OF HAMPTON, NEW HAMPSHIRE
Authorities on the origin of surnames are agreed that Taylor as a family name is derived from the trade of tailor, and consequently belongs to that large classification known as Occupational Names – like Cooper, Fuller, Weaver. It is probably as ancient as surnames themselves; in England, therefore, it dates back to the period following the Norman Conquest, 1066. Lower, a leading authority, states; While surnames occurred before the Conquest, to some extent, they did not become generally hereditary for some time afterwards. In fact it was not until after the Reformation (16th century) that surnames were employed with any regularity. TThe registers of the church had an important influence in bringing the use of surnames into common adoption…Some occupational names have been changed in orthography to hide their original meanness or “mollified ridiculously.” as Camden has it, lest their bearers “should seem vilified by them.” Examples, Carteer, Taileure and Smeeth as substitutes for Carter, Taylor and Smith. Since there had to be a tailor in almost every palce where people lived, many who pursued that occupation adopted or were called by that name. John the tailor was shortened to John Tailor or Taylor and at length, the last name became hereditary. Thus, in every part of England individuals, in no way related, came to bear the surname Taylor. Similarly, in Continental Europe: Tailleur in France; Schneider in Germany; Sarto in Italy. From the most desultory study of the origin of surnames, it seems scarcely possible that anyone could entertain another view as to the derivation of Taylor. Yet a more romantic, if less scientific, account, with several variations, has frequently appeared in print. To wit: all Taylors have a single origin, being descended from the Norman Baron Taillefer, one of William the Conqueror’s chieftains who was killed on the battlefield at Hastings; the name, through corruptions of time, about 1250, came to be Taylefar, from which, about a century later (during reign of Edward III), it became Taylour, Tailor or Taylor………FIRST GENERATION 1.
