Hoyle

Hoyle is a boy’s name with roots in Old English. It comes from the Old English word holh, meaning “hole,” and was traditionally given to “one who lived near a hollow.” This short and sweet moniker brings to mind a babbling brook, moss covered stones, and lush green trees. This name is also perfect for Anglophile parents who want to follow in the surname-first name trend, without being too obvious. Notable namesakes include British atsronomer and sci-fi writer Sir Fred Hoyle, New Zealand soccer player Katie Hoyle, and more!
