Meaning & origin
Lysle is a rare American variant of the surname-turned-first-name Lyle. Its peak usage was in 1901, when it was recorded for 5 babies, and it appears to have remained consistently unusual since then, with no data for the latest year available. The name has never ranked in the top 1,000 in the United States. As a spelling variant, it shares the meaning 'from the island' with Lyle, derived from Anglo-Norman French. While geographically widespread, it has no strong association with any particular state. Lysle offers a distinctive twist for those drawn to short, crisp names ending in 'le'.
Lysle is a variant spelling of Lyle, which originated as a surname from the Anglo-Norman French phrase 'de l'isle', meaning 'of the island'. The name was introduced to Britain after the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the United States, the spelling Lysle emerged probably as a phonetic or family variant, appearing in records as early as the 1900s.
