Origin
Meaning and history of Tylier
The given name Tylier has its roots traced back to the Latin language, originating from the word "Tilia," which means "linden tree." This name gained popularity during the Medieval period in Europe, particularly in regions where Latin had a strong influence.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tylier can be found in the 12th century, when it was mentioned in a historical document from a monastery in Northern Italy. At the time, the name was spelled as "Tylierus" and was associated with a monk who lived in the monastery.
During the Renaissance era, the name Tylier began to spread across Europe, appearing in various literary works and historical accounts. One notable figure who bore this name was Tylier de Montfort, a French nobleman and military commander who lived from 1225 to 1293. He played a significant role in the Albigensian Crusade against the Cathars in Southern France.
In the 16th century, the name Tylier was particularly popular in England, where it was often spelled as "Tylier" or "Tyllyer." One notable Englishman with this name was Tylier Brereton, a poet and playwright who lived from 1537 to 1614. He is best known for his contributions to the English Renaissance theater.
As the centuries passed, the name Tylier continued to be used across various cultures and regions. In the 18th century, a Spanish explorer named Tylier de Alvarado (1720-1785) gained fame for his expeditions to the Pacific Northwest region of North America, where he documented his encounters with indigenous peoples.
Another historical figure of note was Tylier Andersen, a Norwegian writer and philosopher who lived from 1810 to 1892. He played a significant role in the development of Norwegian literature and was a prominent figure in the country's cultural and intellectual circles during the 19th century.
While the name Tylier has experienced ebbs and flows in popularity over time, it has maintained a presence throughout history, carrying with it a rich cultural heritage and a connection to the natural world through its association with the linden tree.

FAQ
Tylier: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tylier?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tylier going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Tylier a common name?
We classify Tylier as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tylier most popular?
The single biggest year for Tylier was 1994, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tylier is about 31 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tylier in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tylier a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tylier in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Tylier still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tylier in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tylier can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
