Tailor
Thayer is an English occupational surname derived from the Old French word 'tailleur', meaning one who cuts cloth. While it shares the same root as the common name Taylor, Thayer has a more distinctive, aristocratic feel due to its rarity and soft phonetic ending. It has a long history as a surname in New England, often associated with established American families.
