What is the meaning of the name Aquill ?

The baby name Aquill is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /əˈkwɪl/ (uh-KWIL).

Aquill is Latin in Origin.

Aquill is a modern given name drawing on two etymological strands: Arabic aqil, meaning "wise, sensible, intelligent," seen in forms Aqil, Aqeel, and Akeel; and the Latin aquila, "eagle," source of Aquila and aquiline. Together, Aquill can suggest keen-mindedness paired with eagle-like strength and vision.

Usage remains rare in English-speaking records from the late twentieth century onward. As Aqil, it is long established across Arabic- and South Asian Muslim naming. Aquila appears in the New Testament as a male co-worker of Paul, lending the Latin root biblical familiarity. Variants and related forms include Aquil, Aqil, Aqeel, Akeel, Aquille, Aquila/Aquilla (often unisex), Aquilo, and Quill as a contemporary nickname. The -ll spelling marks a sleek modern twist while preserving cross-cultural resonance.
