Terrill Origin and Meaning
The name Terrill is a boy's name.
Terrill is a masculine name with English origins, derived from the Norman surname Tyrel or Tirel, which was introduced to Britain after the Norman Conquest. The surname itself likely came from the French 'tirer,' meaning 'to pull,' possibly referring to a skilled archer. As a given name, Terrill emerged primarily in the United States during the 20th century, often as a variant of Terry or Terrence, both of which stem from the Roman family name Terentius. Terrill has maintained a modest presence in naming patterns, never reaching high popularity but providing a slightly more distinctive alternative to more common Terry. The name carries a sophisticated yet approachable quality with its soft consonants and traditional English character.
