Trillby Origin and Meaning

The name Trillby is a girl's name.

Trillby is a feminine name with literary origins, likely derived from George du Maurier's 1894 novel 'Trilby,' which featured a female character of the same name. The novel was so popular it inspired the name of the Trilby hat. The spelling variation with double 'l' adds a distinctive touch. Trillby remains a very rare name choice, never having entered mainstream popularity. It carries an artistic, bohemian quality and vintage charm, evoking the Belle Époque era in Paris. The name has an inherently musical quality to it, perhaps relating to 'trill' in music. For parents seeking something truly uncommon with literary connections, Trillby offers a melodic and distinctive option.
