Airle is Scottish in Origin.

Airle is a rare modern given name in English that likely blends several influences. It can be read as a fresh respelling of Earl/Earle, ultimately from Old English eorl, “nobleman,” lending the meaning “noble” or “warrior of rank.” The form also resembles Airlie, a Scottish place-name used as a surname and occasional given name, which gives Airle a subtle Scottish flavor even though the exact etymology of the place is uncertain. The “air-” opening invites airy, light associations, and the name is used as a gender-neutral choice.

Documented usage is sparse before the late 20th century, with most occurrences in contemporary Anglophone settings. Close variants and relatives include Earle, Earl, Erle, Airlie, Airley, and the phonetic cousins Arlie/Arley. Possible short forms are Air, Ari, and Lee. Parents drawn to Ariel or Aire but seeking something rarer may find Airle an appealing alternative.
