Meaning & Story
A vintage feminine name, an old-fashioned form of Ethel combined with the chemical suffix -yl, giving it a quirky, retro charm.
Ethyl is a name with a wonderfully old-school personality—think black-and-white movies and cats curled up by the fireplace. It has the nostalgic warmth of a grandmother's name, but on a pet it becomes utterly charming and a little bit funny. This is a name for an animal with serious character: opinionated, lovable, and entirely her own creature. Ethyl suits a pet who knows exactly what she wants and communicates it clearly. Her quirky name becomes a conversation starter everywhere she goes.
