Kyler

Kyler is a modern American name, sometimes traced to a Dutch surname for an archer or bowmaker and sometimes understood as a blend of Kyle and Tyler, two names it clearly echoes. Two brisk syllables, KY-ler, with a bright opening and a smooth close. It emerged on American charts in the 1990s and climbed steadily through the 2000s and 2010s, a favorite among parents looking for something familiar-sounding but less used than its neighbors. NFL quarterback Kyler Murray has given it a youthful athletic association. The name reads energetic and contemporary, friendly without being soft. Kyler suits a boy with a quick first step and a ready smile.
