Birtyl is in Origin.

Birtyl is a rare modern English given name, likely a creative respelling at the crossroads of Germanic Berht- names (Albert, Bertram, Berthold) and the gem name Beryl. In a Germanic reading, it carries the meaning "bright, famous" from Proto-Germanic berhtaz "bright." In a gemstone reading, it echoes Beryl, ultimately from Greek beryllos, "sea‑green gem."

Usage has been sparse; the name appears sporadically in English-speaking countries as a variant or phonetic twist on Bertil/Bertel (Scandinavian forms of Berht‑ names) or on Beryl. Related forms and near-variants include Bertil, Bertel, Bertyl, Birtle, Birtel, and Beryl; diminutives include Bert and Bertie. The unusual -yl ending lends a vintage‑but‑inventive feel, suiting parents who like revival names with a tailored, unisex sound. Some bearers may connect it to Birtle, an English place-name that also appears as a surname.
