Ethyle

Ethyle Origin and Meaning

The name Ethyle is a girl's name.

Ethyle is a vintage feminine name derived from the element ethyl, which has Greek origins meaning 'ether.' It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries during a period when scientific and chemical names were fashionable for girls. Ethyle can be considered a variant spelling of Ethel, a once-popular name meaning 'noble' that was common in the Victorian era. The added 'y' gives Ethyle a more distinctive appearance. This name reached its peak popularity in the 1910s and has since become quite rare. With the current revival of vintage names, Ethyle might appeal to parents seeking a truly uncommon choice with antique charm and a subtle connection to scientific terminology.
