The French link is definitely a possibility and something I'd be interested in looking in to.

Not sure I am liking the definitions of the name! Though it makes it all the more interesting to me.

That Edmund Spenser is a good find, thanks everyone.

Oh dear, worrying if that is where our name comes from! :s

I do find it an interesting name and we have wondered if it could have derived from something else like you say people did sometimes make alterations to 'fit in'

thanks for all your help.

That is interesting, I wonder what occupation the name may have come from.

Thank you :)

We are still in Nottingham, (we didn't go far clearly!) I have managed to trace our Guyler name back to the 1800's, I just think its quite an unusual last name, but maybe after all it will be English.

I've never properly had a look at that site, thanks for the link, I'll have a search

Natasha.

Can anybody help me with the origin of the surname Guyler?

Apart from my family I do not know of anyone with this surname, is it particularly popular anywhere in the world? Most people tend to guess that it could be French, I would love it if anyone had an idea of where it come from.

(In my family history I have also seen it spelt as Gillah)
