Lyall is a masculine name of Scottish origin derived from the Old Norse 'Liulfr,' combining elements meaning 'wolf' and 'ancestor' or 'heritage.' This strong, compact name carries connotations of wilderness, loyalty, and noble heritage. In Scotland, it emerged as both a given name and surname, particularly in the highlands. While never extremely common, Lyall has maintained steady usage throughout English-speaking countries, particularly in Scotland, Canada, and Australia. Its single-syllable structure and distinctive 'L' sounds give it a sophisticated yet approachable quality. The name's connection to the wolf symbolism suggests qualities of protection, intelligence, and family devotion.
