The original but less common spelling of Sybil, this name comes from Greek and Roman mythology, in which the sibyls were female prophets. A name that has dipped in and out of style since the Middle Ages, the rise of the lovely Lady Sybil Crawley on television's Downton Abbey may shine a light on this mythological name. 
 
Introduced by the Normans, thrown out by the Puritans, revived by the Victorians, and rejected again in the 70s, when a book and TV film linked it to dissociative identity disorder in popular culture, sister spelling Sybil is now a Nameberry gem. It has featured in the Top 200 names on Nameberry and celebrated as a clunky, literary, vintage revival. 
 
In the real world, Sybil has recently joined the England and Wales Top 1000, while in the US, 136 girls were given the name last year. Sibyl meanwhile is outside the Nameberry Top 1000 and was given to 11 American girls and fewer than 3 in the UK. For the sake of ease, the Sybil spelling might be the better choice, given that the name is already quite unique.
