Name Meaning
English, West Indian (Trinidad and Tobago, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos), and Spanish: from the personal name Virgil, from Latin Virgilius, originally Vergilius, perhaps connected in some way with the name Vergiliae ‘the Pleiades’. The name is famous in particular as that of the Latin poet Publius Vergilius Maro (70–19 BC ), author of the Aeneid. Virgil was much admired in medieval Europe; there were attempts to make him into an honorary Christian (even though he actually lived before the time of Christ), and Dante made him his guide through the Inferno and Purgatorio, a model of classical moderation and reason. This was also the name of an early Christian saint, a 6th-century bishop of Arles. This surname is very rare in Britain.
French: rare variant, and an Americanized form, of Virgile , a cognate of 1 above.
