Mertle

Greek botanical name

Mertle Origin and Meaning

The name Mertle is a girl's name.

Mertle is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Myrtle, which derives from the evergreen shrub sacred to the goddess Venus in Greek mythology. The myrtle plant symbolizes love and immortality and was traditionally used in bridal wreaths. This alternative spelling gives the name a slightly different visual identity while maintaining the same pronunciation. Mertle had modest popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but has since become uncommon. It carries a vintage charm characteristic of names from that era. With its botanical origins and historical usage, Mertle might appeal to parents drawn to nature-inspired names with a touch of nostalgia and understated elegance.
