History & Origin
Talor keeps the sound of Taylor while dropping a letter; Taylor itself is an old occupational surname from French tailleur, a tailor. The clipped spelling is a very late-twentieth-century way to freshen a familiar surname-name.
It stayed rare while Taylor soared, cresting in the early nineteen-nineties at just a few dozen girls a year; it reads as a personalized spelling of a modern favorite rather than an old name in its own right.
