Snyder

Piecing together baby’s patchwork quilt of life will be easy with the name Snyder. Favored for boys as a first name, Snyder is a last name with Middle English, German, Jewish, and Dutch origins. It has evolved strongly on its own throughout nations and cultures to create many a unique variant, but all roots point back to the verb “to cut” in several languages. Snyder, therefore, means “tailor” and was traditionally borne by those who worked in tailoring clothing. This particular spelling has been made famous by the American filmmaker Zach Snyder, whose work continues to shape the world of movies as we know it.
