Naylor is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. Derived from the Middle English 'Nayler,' it originally served as an occupational surname for a nail maker or seller. The name is composed of two elements: 'nail' and '-er,' indicating one who works with nails or deals in them. Although not extensively used today, Naylor carries a unique heritage that adds intrigue to its bearers.
