Johnny Taylor

(male), occasionally (female) Pet form of John, also used as an independent given name from the 16th century onwards. In the United States it is occasionally also used as a girl's name. Famous bearers include the American country singer Johnny Cash (1932–2003) and the film actor Johnny Depp (b. 1963).

English and Scottish: occupational name for a tailor, from Old French tailleur (Late Latin taliator, from taliare ‘to cut’). The surname is extremely common in Britain and Ireland, and its numbers have been swelled by its adoption as an Americanized form of the numerous equivalent European names, most of which are also very common among Ashkenazic Jews, for example Schneider, Szabó, and Portnov.
