Soile is Finnish in Origin.

Soile is a Finnish feminine given name with modern native roots. Linguistically it is linked to the verb soida, "to ring, to sound," with soi meaning "it rings," so the name suggests resonance, music, and festive brightness. In popular usage it is also regarded as a shortened form of Soilikki, a nature name derived from the woodland plant called soilikki (Pyrola), which adds a soft, botanical nuance.

Use spread in Finland during the early to mid-20th century, in step with the rise of fresh Finnish coinages, and it peaked around the mid-century; today it is familiar yet relatively rare, chiefly in Finland and among the Finnish diaspora. Variants include Soili and Soila, with related form Soilikki; Soile functions alongside these rather than as a direct translation in other languages. The visual similarity to French Soleil is coincidental.
