Meaning & origin

Buryl is an exceptionally rare given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1913. It reached its peak popularity that same year, after which it effectively disappeared from common use. The name's origins are unclear; it may be a variant spelling of Beryl or a modern coinage combining elements like bur- and -yl, following a pattern of invented names from the early 1900s. Today, Buryl is almost unheard of, with no recorded births in recent years and no significant presence in any state. Its trajectory is stable only in its obscurity, making it an extremely unusual choice.

Buryl first appeared in the early 20th century, with its earliest recorded U.S. birth in 1913. The name is likely a creative spelling or combination, possibly inspired by the gemstone Beryl or the given name Burrell. It never gained widespread use and remains exceedingly rare.
