What Does the Name Tylah Mean?
Tylah is chiefly a modern respelling of Tyla, the feminine form of the English name Tyler. Tyler began as an occupational surname for a tiler: Middle English tiler, from Old English tigele ("tile," borrowed from Latin tegula) plus the agent ending -ere. Its literal sense is "tile maker" or "one who lays tiles."
Not every bearer of the spelling intends that link. Tylah also sounds like other, unrelated names - for instance the Hebrew Talia ("dew of God") or Tula, from Sanskrit tulā, "balance." A shared sound does not establish a shared origin, and outside the Tyler and Tyla derivation the meaning of Tylah is uncertain.
Tylah Name History & Origins
Tyler is recorded as an English surname from the Middle Ages in forms such as Tiler and Tyler, one of the many medieval surnames taken from a person's trade. It was adopted as a given name several centuries later, used mainly for boys, and became a familiar American name during the 20th century.
The feminine spellings Tyla and Tylah alter the ending of that surname-derived name, dropping the final -r and closing with -a or -h. That -h is a spelling device rather than a separate root, so Tylah has no documented history apart from Tyler and Tyla; it belongs to modern English naming rather than to an older tradition.
