our son's name
We named our son JYLE. We have never heard of anybody else with the same name. We have heard of lots of Kyle's but never any Jyle. My husband chose the name,and the spelling.He liked the name Giles and changed it to Gile.Then he didn't like that spelling so he came up with Jyle. Have you seen this name before or know the meaning of it.
Thank you. Hope to hear a response soon.
Tammy.

You traced the etymology yourself - you're using it as a variant modern self-created spelling of Giles so 'young goat, kid' would still be the meaning. There is no other etymology because, simply put, if you distance it from Giles, it's simply a name you made up and names you make up don't have linguistic meanings unless you based them on a word or another name.I haven't seen Jyle but there's a woman on the opinion board who has a Jye.cheersDevon

LOL - I was in the ballpark, right?Goodness but I do appreciate an established name in the established spelling don't I? Couldn't have anything to do with my old-lady memory could it? ROFLDevon

lol! ;)Yep, you were close - but I was just thinking about how mothers are so often very picky about people spelling their children's names right! Like my friend Justina - if you accidentally leave off the "a", the name is one of a completely different gender whatsoever! And trust me, it's happened before!lol! Of course it doesn't have to do with your old-lady memory, as you say! It only has to do with the name not being in the names database! ;)

namehi! I am looking up my daughter's name because their homeroom teacher asked all of them meaning of their given names...we named our daughter jyle too as we wanted a different unique name though we really do not know the real origin of this name...she's often mistaken for a boy when people see the name though.
