🇺🇸 Kyler
/KYE · lur/
Meaning
“Possibly victory of the people”
Of disputed origin. It may be a modern blend of the names Kyle and Tyler, which together would give the sense 'tiler of roofs on the narrow spit of land'. Alternatively, Kyler may come from the Dutch surname Cuyler, Anglicized, whose own meaning is translated variously as 'hole, pit', 'bowman, archer', 'chapel', or 'victory of the people'.
