Meile is Lithuanian in Origin.
Meile is a Lithuanian feminine given name derived from the noun meilė, meaning “love, affection.” In Lithuanian it is written Meilė (with the dotted ė) and pronounced approximately MAY-leh. The root meil- is inherited from Baltic and is related to the broader Balto‑Slavic family of words expressing endearment.
The name gained currency in the 20th century as part of Lithuania’s virtue-name trend and cultural renewal, and it remains in use both in Lithuania and among the diaspora. Common spellings include Meilė at home and Meile without the diacritic abroad. Affectionate forms include Meilutė and Meilytė; a rare masculine counterpart is Meilis. By meaning, it aligns with English Love or Charity and Slavic Lyubov, and is etymologically akin to the Slavic mil- names such as Mila and Milena, all evoking tenderness, belovedness, and warm attachment.
