Virgle
Virgle Origin and Meaning
Virgle is an uncommon masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Virgil. The classical name Virgil derives from the Latin 'Vergilius,' possibly related to 'virga' meaning 'staff' or 'wand.' This alternative spelling emerged primarily in rural American communities during the early to mid-20th century. While Virgil connects to the renowned Roman poet Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro), the Virgle variant distances itself slightly from these classical associations, creating a more folksy, distinctive character. The name has never been widely popular but maintained a steady presence particularly in southern and Appalachian regions of the United States. Virgle conveys a vintage charm and rustic simplicity that appeals to those seeking traditional yet uncommon names.
