Orvill is in Origin.

Orvill is a spelling variant of Orville, an English given name ultimately linked to French toponymic surnames such as d’Orville. The components are often parsed as or “gold” and ville “settlement,” producing the folk meaning “golden town,” though many French -ville names also arise from a personal name + villa “estate.” The name entered English consciousness through Fanny Burney’s 1778 novel Evelina, whose courteous hero is Lord Orville, and thereafter migrated from surname and literary usage into given-name form.

Use remained modest in Britain but gained ground in North America, peaking in the early twentieth century under the influence of aviation pioneer Orville Wright; today it reads as a rare, vintage choice. SpELLings and related forms include Orville (standard), Orvil, Orvell, Orval, Orvel, and Orvile; Orvill preserves the double-l ending. Occasional feminine elaborations such as Orvilla or Orvella appear. Common nickname: Orv.
