Errill is Irish in Origin.

Errill is a rare given name in the English-speaking world most plausibly tied to two sources: the Irish place-name Errill in County Laois, and a respelling of the Scottish name Errol. As a toponymic choice, it signals geographic heritage; the Irish and Scottish place-names have debated, likely pre-Gaelic/Pictish roots, so a precise lexical meaning is uncertain. Modern ears sometimes hear the English word rill (“small stream”), lending the name a gentle, nature-tinged nuance, though this is associative rather than etymological.

Given-name use is attested from the early twentieth century and grew alongside the mid-twentieth-century visibility of Errol, notably via actor Errol Flynn. Errill remains very uncommon but appeals to parents seeking a familiar sound with a distinctive spelling, including occasional use in Ireland as a local-honor name. Related or comparable forms include Errol and Erroll (Scottish), Erol (Turkish, 'brave man,' separate origin), and the Welsh unisex Eryl (phonetic cousin).
