Surnames That Begin with "T"

Most Common Surname Beginning with "T": Taylor

Although Taylor is considered an English surname, its roots are steeped in the French culture, since Taylor comes from the French word “tailleur” and designated to someone who cut cloth. Tailleur is rooted in medieval times dating back to the twelfth century, when tailors were a popular trade. In England, Taylor is almost as popular as the surname Smith, although spellings tend to vary and include Tayler, Taylour and Tailour. The records of the Canterbury Cathedral show the first recorded Taylor surname in 1180 of Walter Taylur, but other famous Taylors include Zackary Taylor, former president of the United States and a noted soldier who fought to free Texas from Mexico.
