Murtl is English in Origin.

Murtl (pronounced MUR-tl) is an uncommon name with two main etymological paths. In English-speaking contexts it can function as a streamlined respelling of Myrtle, the botanical name from Greek myrtos, the aromatic evergreen linked with love, peace, and fidelity. Across Bavaria and Austria, however, Murtl/Mörtl/Moertl appears as a dialectal -l diminutive for Moritz (German Maurice) or, less often, Martin; in that line the underlying Latin Mauricius/Maurus conveys “Moorish; dark-complexioned.”

Usage has been scattered. As a Myrtle variant it nods to the late Victorian flower-name vogue in Britain and America. As a South German pet form it recalls traditional Alpine naming (cf. Bertl, Gretl, Martl). Related forms include Myrtle, Myrtel, Myrtie, Mirtl, Mörtl/Moertl, Mertl, Martl, Murty, and Murt. Gender skews feminine in the Myrtle reading and masculine in the Moritz/Martin line, giving Murtl a quietly unisex profile.
