Eural
A boy's name of Old English origin with 273 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Eural is a two-syllable boy's name with a sharp, distinct sound — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close. With only 273 recorded U.S. births, it is exceptionally rare — the kind of name most people encounter for the first time when they meet your child.
Eural is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eural is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant of Earl, from the Old English eorl, meaning 'nobleman, warrior, man of rank.' Earl was a title of English nobility — between a marquess and a viscount in the British peerage system — and came into American use as a given name in the nineteenth century, particularly in the South.
Eural gives the noble title-as-given-name a slightly different spelling, maintaining the aristocratic resonance in a more individualized form.
