Sybil

Sybil is a girl's and boy's baby name of Greek origin, from the Greek Sibylla — the ancient prophetesses who served at oracles throughout the Mediterranean world, most famously at Delphi. The word meant 'prophetess' or 'sibyl,' women who spoke the divine will.

Sybil carries the weight of prophecy and the mystique of ancient oracles. It appeared in medieval Christian tradition as the sibyls were believed to have predicted Christ's coming. In the 20th century, Sybil became associated with the iconic British drama Downton Abbey's kind, generous character Lady Sybil. Ancient, mystical, and warmly noble.
