About Myrle
Myrle is a feminine name that serves as a variant of Merle or Muriel. Of Celtic and French origins, it ultimately derives from the Latin word 'muralis,' meaning 'relating to a wall.' Historically, Myrle saw modest popularity in the United States during the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s and 1920s. Its usage has significantly declined since then, making it a vintage rarity today. Myrle has a gentle, old-fashioned charm that might appeal to parents seeking an uncommon name with historical roots. The name carries subtle nature associations as well, since 'merle' refers to a blackbird in French, adding a delicate avian connection to its meaning.
Myrle is also given to boys.
Pronounced MER-ul.
As of October 2026, Myrle ranked #3807 in US births in 1966 SSA, peaked at #1080 in 1906.
