Addergoole is Irish in Origin.

Addergoole is a rare Irish toponymic given name taken from the parish of Addergoole in County Mayo. Its Irish form, Eadargóil, is analyzed from eadar “between” and góil “inlets, mouths,” yielding the evocative meaning “between the inlets.” The placename appears in historical surveys and ecclesiastical records, and it resonates widely through the story of the “Addergoole Fourteen,” emigrants from the parish who sailed on the Titanic in 1912 - an association that has inspired occasional commemorative use of the name within the Irish diaspora.

As a first name, Addergoole is modern and very uncommon, used as a distinctive, heritage-leaning choice that is considered unisex. Variants and related forms include Eadargóil (Irish), Adergoole, and the less frequent Addergool; informal short forms such as Addy or Ada may be adopted in English contexts. Pronounced roughly AD-er-ghool, the name carries a strong sense of place and coastal landscape.
