Nevil is English in Origin.
Nevil is an English masculine given name derived from the Norman French surname Neville, from place-name Neuville (“new town”), built on neuf/neuve “new” + ville “settlement.” Brought to Britain with the Normans, it settled as a surname for aristocratic houses and later transitioned to a forename. Usual pronunciation is NEV-il.
As a given name, Nevil is the streamlined spelling, rarer than Neville. It appears in records from the late medieval period in honor of the powerful Neville family, then spread more broadly in the 19th–20th centuries amid surname-to-forename fashions. Notable bearers include novelist Nevil Shute and astronomer Nevil Maskelyne. Variants and related spellings: Neville (common), Nevill, Nevile; diminutive: Nev. Meaning: “new town/settlement,” suggesting fresh beginnings or a new home.
