Virgil Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
In Latin, the original is frequently spelt Vergilius, but that fact need not obscure the radical, which is present in virerey to flourish, and virga, a green bough, as well as in very the Spring. Though rare in late C19-20, Virgil was not infrequent in C16-mid 19, when the fame of that other ‘poets’ poet’, Publius Vergilius Maro (70-19 B. C.), meant rather more to Englishmen than it does now.
