Wiles is an uncommon given name of English origin. It is derived from the Middle English word 'wile', which means 'cunning' or 'trickery'. The name was often used as a nickname for someone who was crafty or deceptive, but it could also refer to someone who was simply witty or clever. While not typically found in traditional baby naming books, Wiles has been used as a given name sparingly throughout history. It is more commonly found as a surname, however, with notable bearers including the British politician and former Conservative Party leader, Andrew Wiles.
