Saylor, an English surname-turned-given-name, comes from the Old French word sailleor, meaning "acrobat" or "dancer," though it can also be linked to the English word sailor, referring to a member of a sailing crew. Saylor first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 in 2013 when it ranked 907th in the country. It rose up to 800 by 2014, cracked the top-500 by 2016 and has been a top-250 girl's name since 2022. "The Hills" star Kristin Cavallari and former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler share a son named Saylor James, born in 2015.
