Birle is in Origin.

Birle is a rare English-Scottish given name with roots in Old English byrele, meaning “cup-bearer” or “butler,” a courtly attendant who poured drinks. The term survived in Scots as birle, “to pour out drink” or “to carouse,” lending the name a hospitable, convivial sense. As a personal name it is chiefly a modern transfer from the surname, appearing sporadically in British and North American records from the 19th century onward, typically masculine but usable as unisex today.

Variants and related forms include Birl (Scots), Burle and Burl (phonetic cousins better known in the United States), and the locational Birley, from Old English birc “birch” + lēah “clearing,” which some families shortened to Birle. The name suggests service, sociability, and lively gathering; the Scots echo also hints at motion and energy. Usage remains uncommon, appealing to parents seeking a crisp, heritage-rich choice.
