Teryl, of Latin origin, is a gender-neutral given name derived from Terentius, an ancient Roman family name that translates to "eagle." This unique moniker has been gaining popularity in recent years, particularly in English-speaking countries. It offers a distinctive alternative for parents seeking a name with a strong, individual sound while retaining a familiar feel due to its Latin roots. The name Teryl typically does not have any specific associated celebrations or saint's days, allowing new parents the freedom to choose their preferred date for celebrating their child's birthday.
The name Teryl experienced its peak popularity from the mid-1940s to the early 1960s, with a notable spike of 34 births in both 1955 and 1962. However, it began to decline significantly by the late 1960s, dropping below 20 births per year starting from 1967. From the 1970s onwards, Teryl became quite rare, with fewer than 10 births annually until the 1990s, when it was barely used at all. In total, there were 779 recorded births named Teryl over the course of these years.
