Tytler Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is not very common but Lower says that it occurs in the English Hundred Rolls (1273). It has been derived from ME. titeier, a tatler, but this seems most unlikely. Alexander Fraser Tytler (1747-1813), historian and general writer, was born in Edinburgh. His son, Patrick Fraser Tytler (1791-1849), was author of a large history of Scotland and of other works. James Tytler (1747-1805), scholar and eccentric, commonly called "Balloon Tytler" from his having made the first balloon ascension in Scotland, was born in Brechin.
(English) Tatler [Middle English titeler, from titelen, titeren, to tattle; conn. with Low Ger.
tateln, to tattle] Of alle tale-telleris And titeleris . . .—Piers Plowman, 1423-4.
The Scottish family of this name are stated to be a younger branch of the noble house of Seton. The ancestor is said to have fled into F ranee temp. James IV., in consequence of his having slain a gentleman in a sudden quarrel at a hunting match, and there to have adopted, for concealment, the name of Tytler. His two sons, bearing the same name, returned to Scotland with Queen Mary. B.L.G. The statement appears very improbable; and the etymology of the alias, if such it be, is unknown. Le Titteler occurs in H.R., and Jamieson, gives Titlar as a tattler, or talkative person.
In the year 1515, Lord Seton, having slain a gentleman named Gray in a duel, changed his name to Tytler and fled to France. His two sons returned with Queen Mary to Scotland in 1561, and settled in Aberdeenshire.
