History & Origin
Marcile is a feminine name in the Marcel/Marcella group, from the Latin Marcellus, a diminutive of Marcus, whose root honours Mars, the god of war. French forms like Marcel and Marcelle were fashionable in early-twentieth-century America, and Marcile is a spelling in that family.
It stayed a small choice, appearing at a few dozen girls a year and peaking faintly around 1920 before fading by mid-century. Marcile reads as a genteel French-styled name of its era and has not been revived, though relatives like Marcella get an occasional vintage look.
