Norvil Origin and Meaning

The name Norvil is a boy's name.

Norvil is an uncommon masculine name with uncertain origins. It may be a variant of the Norwegian-derived name Norville, which combines elements meaning "north" and "village" or "settlement." Another possibility is that it evolved as a variation of Norval or Norvel, names with Scottish roots. Norvil has never been widely used in the United States or other English-speaking countries, maintaining its distinctiveness throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. The name has a vintage quality reminiscent of the early 1900s when similar sounding names had modest popularity. Men named Norvil often go by the full name rather than nicknames, embracing its unique character and distinguished sound.
