Verl Origin and Meaning
The name Verl is a boy's name.
Verl is a masculine name with Germanic origins, likely a shortened form of names containing the element 'ver-' meaning 'true' or 'faithful.' It may also be related to the German word 'Perle' meaning 'pearl.' Verl gained modest popularity in the United States during the early to mid-20th century, particularly in rural communities and Midwestern states. The name has a straightforward, no-nonsense quality that appealed to families seeking traditional masculine names. Today, Verl is considered vintage or rare, having declined in usage since the 1950s. Its short, strong sound and simplicity might appeal to parents looking for uncommon traditional names with historical roots but without elaborate spelling or pronunciation.
