Myrtill is Greek in Origin.
Myrtill is a feminine given name most common in Hungary, traced to Greek Myrtilos (Μυρτίλος) and Latin Myrtilus/Myrrtillus, diminutives of myrtos, “myrtle.” The myrtle shrub was sacred to Aphrodite and later Venus, symbolizing love, joy, and marital fidelity; the name thus carries the sense “little myrtle” or “belonging to the myrtle.” A mythic bearer is Myrtilus, the charioteer of King Oenomaus, anchoring the name in classical literature and lending it a refined, Hellenizing aura.
Usage is rare but persistent across Europe. In Hungary, Myrtill gained modest currency from the late 19th century alongside other nature and classical revivals. Related forms include Myrtile and Myrtil (French), Myrtilla and Mirtilla (Italian/Latinized), Myrtille (French, also the word for bilberry/blueberry), Myrtle (English), Myrtis (Greek), and Mirtil/Mirtillo in Romance languages. The shared botanical root links all variants to themes of evergreen beauty, affection, and festive celebration.
