Gentile is a name given to boys and girls. Medieval Italian and French in origin, Gentile is a variant of Gentilis, which comes from the Latin word gentilis, meaning “of the same family.” In Judeo-Italian and Spanish, it’s also a form of Yentl and Yente, Yiddish for “noble” or “aristocratic.” More commonly associated with paganism in Christianity and Judaism, Gentile can inspire your little one to approach all that life has to offer with a free spirit and an open mind.
