Dencil is an unusual yet appealing given name of American origin. It was popularized by the author Henry Hazlitt, who used it for a character in his novel 'The Babbitt Crusoe'. The name Dencil has not been widely adopted, making it distinctive and memorable. It does not have any specific meaning or association with any particular day, allowing those named Dencil to celebrate their birthdays without shared name-day celebrations.
The name Dencil experienced a significant spike in popularity between the late 1930s and early 1950s, with a peak of 13 births recorded in 1947. However, it appears to have been quite uncommon during other periods, especially after the 1960s when only one birth was recorded in 1977.
