Answer 1

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name,

Tyler Name Meaning and History

English: occupational name for a maker or layer of tiles, from an agent derivative of Middle English tile ‘tile’. In the Middle Ages tiles were widely used in floors and pavements, and to a lesser extent in roofing, where they did not really come into their own until the 16th century.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Tyler is an occupational name for "tiler"..one who lays tiles. English.  

Of course it is possible that an immigrating ancestor Americanized his name when entering the US.

Answer 3

English !

In early English the "i" was often a "y" as in Smyth, sometimes it 'stuck' and was never changed to "i", very often you will find people who are related but have these slight differences in their surnames, usually because they were not literate to begin with, branches of the same family lived in the same area, but in different villages with different parish clerks who spelt the name as they thought it should be spelt,

that spelling would often stay much the same through the parish registers and other documents, when the people began to read and write they simply carried on the spelling of their name which had already been attached to them.

Answer 4

You were born to a sultry Eurasian cabaret dancer with green eyes and her lover, a Swedish sailor. You were stolen by gypsies at three month and sold to a poor but kindly couple named Tyler, who raised you as their own and never let on.  I must have known a dozen guys like that.

Seriously, you have 16 great great grandparents and 28 - 32 GGG GPs, depending on how many people married a cousin. Asking your background based on one surname is ridiculous.
