About Meryle
Meryle is a feminine name that appears as a variant spelling of Meryl or Merrill. It has English and Celtic origins, traditionally derived from the Welsh elements 'môr' meaning 'sea' and 'iâl' meaning 'open space' or 'clearing.' The name carries peaceful associations with coastal landscapes and maritime settings. Meryle enjoyed modest popularity in the early to mid-20th century but has since become quite rare, giving it a vintage charm. The name gained some recognition through association with acclaimed actress Meryl Streep, though she spells her name differently. With its soft sounds and nature connection, Meryle offers a gentle alternative to more common names while maintaining familiar phonetics. Its spelling variation with the 'e' ending gives it a slightly more feminine appearance.
Meryle is also given to boys.
Pronounced MER-uhl.
As of October 2026, Meryle ranked #3845 in US births in 1946 SSA, peaked at #3519 in 1933.
