Cybilla Origin and Meaning

The name Cybilla is a girl's name.

Cybilla is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Sibilla or Sibylla, derived from the ancient Greek word 'sibylla' meaning 'prophetess' or 'oracle'. In Greek and Roman mythology, the Sibyls were women believed to possess prophetic powers and divine insight. This rare spelling with 'C' gives the name a modern, distinctive quality while maintaining its ancient roots. Cybilla has never been common in English-speaking countries, remaining a highly unusual choice. The name's connection to mystical female seers gives it an air of mystery and spiritual wisdom. The modern spelling may also evoke associations with technology through its resemblance to 'cyber', creating an interesting blend of ancient mysticism and contemporary resonance.
