Neille
Neille Origin and Meaning
Neille is a feminine name that likely developed as a variant of Neil or Neill, with Irish and Scottish Gaelic roots. The original masculine name derives from 'Niall,' possibly meaning 'champion' or 'cloud.' This feminine adaptation maintains the Celtic heritage while adding a distinctly feminine ending. Neille remains quite rare, making it an uncommon choice that still carries traditional origins. The name has a gentle yet strong quality, with its single-syllable pronunciation but double-letter spelling adding visual interest. While not widely used in any region, Neille occasionally appears in families with Irish or Scottish connections who seek to honor their heritage while choosing something distinctive. Its uniqueness allows bearers to stand out while still having a name with authentic Celtic roots.
