More Old French names
Merle
“From the Old French merle, meaning "blackbird," derived from the Latin merula. As a given name, Merle appeared in the 19th century English-speaking world, used for both men and women, though it has largely been masculine in American usage. The bird association lends it a musical, nature-connected quality, and the name was borne by several country music artists who reinforced its Southern American character.”
Eric
“Eric is a masculine given name derived from the Old Norse Eiríkr, composed of ei meaning "ever, always" and ríkr meaning "ruler, mighty" — thus "eternal ruler" or "ever powerful". The name was widespread among the Norse and spread through Norman French influence into the medieval Romance-language world. In France the name has been used since the Norman period, though it peaked in popularity in the 20th century.”
Fay
“From the Old French fae or fee, meaning "fairy" or "enchantress," itself derived from the Latin fata, the Fates. The name carries an aura of otherworldly charm rooted in Arthurian legend — Morgan le Fay being the most celebrated bearer. It has also been used as a diminutive of Faith since the late 19th century, adding a more grounded, devotional strand to its meaning.”
Myrl
“A variant spelling of Merle, from the Old French merle, meaning "blackbird," derived from the Latin merula. Myrl is a simplified American spelling variant, appearing primarily in 19th and early 20th-century Southern and Midwestern naming records, where phonetically rendered names with Y replacing E were common. It has been used for both sexes but was more common as a masculine name in American records.”
Tracy
“Originally a Norman surname derived from the French place name Tracy-Bocage in Normandy, itself from the Gaulish personal name Thracius, meaning "Thracian." It entered English use as a masculine given name, transferred from the aristocratic surname, but shifted predominantly to feminine use in the mid-20th century, particularly in America, where it was widely popular in the 1960s and 1970s.”
Spencer
“From the Old French espensier or despensier, meaning "steward" or "dispenser of provisions" — the official responsible for managing household stores and supplies. This occupational surname became common in England and was borne by the powerful Spencer family, which included the Dukes of Marlborough and Princess Diana. It transferred to given-name use in the 19th century and has been fashionable across the English-speaking world.”
