Ethyll Origin and Meaning

The name Ethyll is a girl's name.

Ethyll is a feminine name that appears to be a spelling variation of Ethel, which derives from Old English 'æðel' meaning 'noble' or 'of noble birth.' The unique spelling with a double 'l' gives this traditional name a more distinctive appearance. Ethel was quite popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but declined significantly by the 1940s. The Ethyll variant is extremely rare, likely representing an attempt to modernize or personalize the classic name. It carries the same connotations of nobility, dignity and refinement as its original form. This name might appeal to those seeking vintage names with subtle modifications, though it remains highly uncommon in contemporary usage.
