Lucile
About Lucile
Lucille and its alternate spelling Lucile are both popular in France, but in the US, Lucy rules with the more-antiquated sounding Lucille a distant second. Lucile fell off the Top 1000 more than 60 years ago and it's hard to imagine what might make this spelling preferable to the original. As with Jenifer, subtracting that letter doesn't add anything.
Pronounced loo-SEEL.
As of October 2026, Lucile ranked #5051 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #115 in 1908.
Editor's take: The name Lucile is a girl's name meaning "light".
