Coile (pronounced KOYL) is a rare given name drawn from Irish and Scottish surname stock. Most bearers trace it to Coyle/Coile, from the Gaelic Ó Cadhla, “descendant of Cadhla,” with Cadhla interpreted as “graceful, beautiful, comely.” The spelling also echoes Scottish Gaelic coille, “wood; forest,” so the name can carry a gentle nature sense alongside its admired-qualities meaning.

It leans masculine but reads comfortably unisex. Variants and near-forms include Coyle, Coil, and the feminine-leaning Coila (the poetic muse of Ayrshire in Robert Burns), while related but etymologically separate is Kyle. Short forms such as Coy may be used. Overall meanings offered: “graceful; beautiful” (Gaelic personal-name source) or “of the woods/forest” (Gaelic vocabulary echo).
