Erroll
Erroll Origin and Meaning
Erroll is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Errol, which originated as a Scottish surname derived from the barony of Errol in Perthshire, Scotland. The doubled 'l' spelling gives it a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. The name gained some recognition through figures like jazz pianist Erroll Garner and Hollywood actor Errol Flynn, though it has never been widely popular. It carries an air of sophistication and old-world charm, evoking images of classic Hollywood elegance. The name has Scottish aristocratic connections through the Earl of Erroll title, adding to its distinguished feel. While never ranking highly on popular name charts, Erroll maintains a steady, if uncommon, presence in English-speaking countries.
