Sellers (also Sellars) is an English occupational surname — 'one who sells', a merchant or trader; some lines instead trace it to Old French sellier, 'saddler'. Like Parker, Harper and Bailey before it, it has been picked up as a first name; unlike them it has not yet settled on the girls' side, and it leans to boys, which we note honestly (said 'SEL-urz').
For girls it appears only rarely in the U.S., beside heavier boys' use. Rare, surname-crisp, and unusual.
Did you know? Sellers began as a job description: someone who sold, or in some family lines a saddler, from Old French sellier. As a first name it is a modern surname borrowing, and it leans to boys, which we note honestly.
