Eskil is a male given name of Norse origin, derived from the Old Norse word 'Asketil', which is a combination of two elements: 'askr' meaning 'ash tree' and 'tili' meaning 'helmet'. This name has been a popular choice in Scandinavia for centuries, bearing a strong connection to the region's rich cultural history.
"In 1915 and 1916 combined, there were 14 children named Eskil."
