<p>Ancil is a rare masculine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from Anselm, a Germanic name meaning 'God's helmet' or 'divine protection,' or from Ancell, a diminutive of Anselm. Alternatively, it could connect to Latin 'ancilla' meaning 'servant' or be a variant of Ancelot, a French diminutive of Ancel. Popular briefly in the early 20th century in America, Ancil has since become quite uncommon. The name carries a vintage charm with its soft consonants and crisp ending. Notable bearers include American folk artist Ancil Goodman and baseball player Ancil Hoffman. With its short, distinctive sound and historical roots, Ancil offers a rare alternative to more common short masculine names.</p>
