Marcile Origin and Meaning

The name Marcile is a girl's name.

Marcile is a delicate feminine name of French derivation, likely a variant of Marcelle, the feminine form of Marcel. The name ultimately stems from Latin roots, specifically 'Marcellus,' a Roman family name that was a diminutive of Marcus, meaning 'dedicated to Mars' (the Roman god of war). Despite its classical origins, Marcile remains quite uncommon in contemporary usage, giving it a distinctive vintage charm. The softer ending differentiates it from the more widely recognized Marcella or Marcelle. The name carries an elegant, somewhat old-fashioned quality that might appeal to parents seeking a name with historical depth but relative obscurity. Its gentle sound profile combines traditional roots with a subtle uniqueness that allows it to stand apart from more popular classics.
