Gaile Origin and Meaning

The name Gaile is a girl's name.

Gaile is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Gail, which originated as a shortened form of Abigail in English-speaking countries. The name can also be considered a feminine form of Gale, relating to the Old English word for 'jovial' or 'merry'. With its additional 'e' at the end, Gaile takes on a slightly more elaborate and distinctly feminine appearance compared to the more commonly seen Gail. This name enjoyed modest popularity during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s, but has since become less common. Gaile carries a vintage charm while maintaining a simple, straightforward elegance, appealing to parents drawn to understated classic names with a slight twist.
