Meaning & origin

Virgle is an exceedingly rare given name in the United States, first recorded in 1886. It saw its peak usage in 1905, during the first decade of the 20th century, but it has not appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 names in recent years. The name is most likely an American elaboration or variant of Virgil, the name of the famous Roman poet. Its trajectory has been stable but minimal, with no recorded resurgence. Due to its scarcity, no top states of usage are available.

Virgle is a given name of uncertain origin, most likely a modern American variant or elaboration of the Roman family name Virgil (from Latin Vergilius), associated with the poet Virgil. Alternatively, it may be a respelling influenced by names like Bertha or Myrtle. The name saw limited use in the United States from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, particularly in the 1900s.
