Lyle
Lyle is a name with Anglo-Norman origins, used to indicate where settlers were from. It was taken from the Norman word 'l'isle', which meant 'the island'; it was used as a surname by those who lived on an island. The French acquired this word from the Latin word 'insula', which means 'island', which has been hypothetically associated with 'salo' which means 'what is in the ocean' (taken from 'salum', meaning 'the untamed ocean'). So, the meaning of Lyle is 'protective island'. These are the word roots where we get the phrase 'to protect' - or, to make into an island. Lyle was created after the French term 'le', meaning 'the', was mixed with the word for 'isle'. The name was first recorded all the way back in 1086 in the Doomsday Book, where it was written as De Insula. It became more popular as a first name in the 19th century. It can be used as a name for both genders.
