Taylee
Meaning of Taylee
Taylee is generally regarded as a modern American coinage, stitched together with the nimble “Tay-” of Taylor and the lilting “-lee” that echoes Kaylee, Hailey, and a whole meadow of contemporary “-lee” names. Etymological purists may protest—Rumi himself might raise an eyebrow—yet the hybrid gives her bearer the pleasing meaning of “tailor” (from Old French) softened by a meadow-flower ending. In the United States she has hovered, steady as a Persian caravan at dusk, between ranks 800 and 900 for three decades, suggesting a name that is noticed without being ubiquitous. Parents often note that Taylee sounds bright and uncluttered, while the quick, two-beat rhythm makes it easy for a child to master before she can even tie her shoes—dryly satisfying both elegance and practicality.
