History & Origin

Beryle is a decorative spelling of Beryl, one of the Victorian jewel names, taken from the gemstone whose name comes through Latin from the Greek beryllos. Beryl was fashionable in Britain and America around the turn of the twentieth century, and variant spellings like Beryle rode alongside it.

Beryle was never common - only a few dozen girls a year at its faint peak in the early 1920s, within the jewel-name vogue of its period. It reads as an Edwardian-era rarity, and the -e spelling has not returned in modern use.

Did you know? Beryl, the stone behind Beryle, gives its name to emerald and aquamarine, both varieties of the same mineral - a quietly precious root for a rare name.
