Norvill Origin and Meaning
Norvill is a rare masculine name that likely originated as a variant spelling of Norville or Norval. These names have Old French and Norse origins, possibly derived from elements meaning 'north' and 'village' or 'valley.' Norvill may also have evolved from a surname with similar origins. As a first name, it is extremely uncommon in contemporary usage, making it a highly distinctive choice. The name has an aristocratic, somewhat antiquated feel that evokes images of English countryside estates or historical literature. Its rarity appeals to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but very little current usage. Norvill has a formal quality with its two syllables and distinctive ending, setting it apart from more common names while still maintaining pronounceability.
