Cybill Origin and Meaning

The name Cybill is a girl's name.

Cybill is a feminine name that emerged as a modernized spelling variant of Sibyl or Sybil, names with ancient Greek origins meaning 'prophetess' or 'oracle.' The unique spelling gained recognition through American actress Cybill Shepherd, who rose to fame in the 1970s and later starred in her own television show 'Cybill' in the 1990s. The distinctive 'C' spelling gives the name a contemporary edge while maintaining its classical roots. Cybill has never been widely popular, remaining a relatively uncommon choice that peaked briefly after Shepherd's initial rise to fame. The name carries associations of wisdom, foresight, and artistic talent. Its rareness appeals to parents seeking a recognizable yet distinctive name with both historical depth and modern appeal.
